Baird Foundation Annual Report Imagine More: 2016 | Page 3

A MESSAGE FROM STEVE BOOTH AND PAUL PURCELL When it comes to getting involved in the community, our associates continue to imagine more – more ways to engage with nonprofits and maximize the positive impact in the communities where we live and work. Our determination and passion for helping build stronger communities is never-ending, and that’s something we’re extremely proud of. The Baird Foundation helps support many causes throughout the year that reinforce our collective belief that we all have a responsibility to help make our communities better, healthier and stronger. Many associates dedicate their time to hands-on volunteering and provide generous financial support while others hold leadership positions on the board of nonprofit organizations. We are thankful for the opportunities we have to work with others and we’re truly inspired by those we meet. Forming relationships and collaborating within the community helps us to imagine – and to achieve more.
