Vermont Business Magazine Bar Harbor Bank & Trust’s employee giving program, Casual for a Cause, recently surpassed the $100,000 mark of total donations made to nonprofit organizations since the program launched in 2018. More than 53 organizations across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont have received donations through the program.
Casual for a Cause gives Bank employees the opportunity to dress casually on Fridays in exchange for a bi-weekly payroll deduction made to a pool of funds collected during each quarter. The employees then vote on the nonprofits to receive their contributions. The program is entirely voluntary, and each employee sets his/her own level of giving. Approximately 2/3 of the Bank’s employees participate in Casual for a Cause.

Mauceri created the game. She came up with dozens of questions to create a safe way for new students to connect during the global pandemic.
Each year, HPU’s freshmen build bikes together for local children. The teamwork and the act of serving others sets the tone for their educational journey at HPU. But during the pandemic, they couldn’t gather to build bikes as they had done in the past, so HPU officials asked Mauceri for help. Mauceri got busy.
