Horizon Bank Prepares for 2nd Annual Horizon Cares Day

Michigan City, Indiana - Horizon Bank is excited to announce its second annual Horizon Cares Day. On September 12th, all Horizon Bank locations across Indiana and Michigan will close for a full day to give back to their local communities. Nearly nine hundred dedicated Advisors will volunteer at over 80 nonprofit organizations, making a meaningful difference in the communities they proudly serve.

This year, Horizon is truly going beyond by not only volunteering but by also celebrating the achievements of its Advisors. Eight outstanding Advisors will be honored with two prestigious awards: the "Beyond Ordinary" Leadership Award, which recognizes those who lead with innovation and inspiration, and the "Go Beyond" Community Service Award, which highlights those who have made a significant impact through their service.

Horizon Cares Day represents more than just a single day of giving back-it reflects Horizon's commitment to the neighborhoods and people they serve. Horizon is eager to recognize Advisors who go above and beyond during this year's event and looks forward to the positive impact resulting from their collective efforts.
