Hours of fun will be had during the event including the much anticipated “throw a pie at your banker” pie toss, music, carnival games, prizes, temporary tattoos, a bounce house and a fabulous raffle. There will also be food and beverages including caramel apples, hot apple cider and hot chocolate available to purchase at very reasonable prices.

Travis Academy in Milwaukee and we thought this would be a fun way to involve our community as well,” said Nicole Coffey, portfolio manager at Ridgestone Bank. “There will be something for everyone, young and old, so stop by, have some fun and feel good knowing you’re helping the kids at the Academy.”

Since opening their doors in 1996, the Ceria M. Travis Academy strives to make a difference in the lives of children. Their primary focus is to provide a positive learning experience for students in need of a different approach to learning. A loving and nurturing environment becomes the vehicle by which they serve their kids. Every year brings academic and behavioral improvement for the children at the school by focusing on studies, but also by teaching communication and leadership skills, as every child is involved in some extracurricular club or activity.
