Lights - camera - take action and give back to nonprofit Milwaukee Film!

Associated Bank's partnership with Milwaukee Film has continued to grow over the past four years. The partnership is overseen by John Utz, Associated Bank executive vice president, Milwaukee market president, and head of Corporate Banking, who has served on the Milwaukee Film board since 2014, and Christopher Piotrowski, Associated Bank executive vice president and chief marketing officer. 

"I am honored to serve as a Milwaukee Film board member and support the continued growth of Milwaukee Film as an important community asset," remarked Utz. "At Associated Bank, giving back to the community is part of who we are and what we do."

"Associated Bank is pleased to partner with Milwaukee Film and give back with our new checking program," said Piotrowski. "Together, we continue to make a positive difference in our community through the power of film."

With Milwaukee Film Checking, movie fans can give back and enjoy additional red carpet benefits including cinema-themed checks and debit card, discounts on Milwaukee Film memberships[2] and two complimentary film festival vouchers[3].

"As a nonprofit organization that is experiencing incredible growth, Milwaukee Film is thrilled to be able to partner with Associated Bank," said Jonathan Jackson, artistic and executive director of Milwaukee Film. "With every single debit card transaction providing an opportunity to bring more students to the cinema, more dialogue surrounding important films, and building towards our own state-of-the-art cinema – this one of a kind card is such a unique win for Milwaukee Film and this community."
