It's the connections made with clients, the community, and the WGA team that makes the WGA experience truly unique. Professionally, WGA serves numerous not-for-profit organizations. Now the team wants to expand its activities and share the excitement of the 50th Anniversary celebration with the community at large.

We live here. Our families are here. Our firm has been very blessed over the past 50 years, and performing 50 Acts of Kindness is the least we can do. Performing kind acts and being kind should be everyone's day-to-day norm."
