John Highlen, president of the Fred Waara Chapter of Trout Unlimited accepts a donation from Mike Kolasa, vice president and trust officer at The Stephenson National Bank & Trust (SNBT). The money comes directly from SNBT employees as part of its “Jeans for Greens” program. Each Friday, employees are given the option to ‘dress down for a good cause’ by donating $5 toward a specific non-profit organization designated for that month. Trout Unlimited exists to promote coldwater watershed health, and seeks to help the fish in those watersheds. If you would like to give, or for more information, contact Trout Unlimited directly at https://www.michigantu.org/index.php/michigan-chapters/upper-peninsula
