Comedy and Caring in Times of COVID-19: Baird & Warner Libertyville Provides Over $8,100 for PADS Lake County

LIBERTYVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Libertyville office of Baird & Warner, Illinois’ largest family-owned independent real estate services company, raised $8,100 for PADS Lake County hosting a virtual “Improv-A-Thon” fundraiser on Facebook LIVE. This total surpassed their initial goal of $5,000.

In lieu of their annual “Bowl-A-Thon” fundraiser, the Libertyville office hosted the Facebook LIVE comedy event, featuring Baird & Warner agents as the improv performers. “Hosting a virtual event allowed us to connect with the community and continue to give back to the organization we’ve supported for many years,” says designated managing broker Steve Lawrence.
