GWM was recently a tier level sponsor of the 3rd Annual Midwest Battle Buddies Golf Tournament.
Michelle Watson, GWM Shareholder (pictured waving), is the Chair of the Board for Midwest Battle Buddies, which is a non-profit dedicated to providing service dogs to military veterans with PTSD, traumatic brain injury and physical disabilities.
This year's event was held at Terradyne Country Club and featured several veterans who brought their service dogs to meet the golfers before and after the event. This was GWM's 3rd year sponsoring the tournament for this organization and is pleased to host the Board members of the charity for it's monthly meetings in our offices.
GWM is proud to honor those who proudly served our country and happy we can give back to our community.
