Family & Community
Businesses often get so caught up in the bottom line that they forget about the positive impact they can
have on their community. AGWS believes in family, and we support organizations that help families in need.
Two of our beloved charities are St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Hesed House.
For more information about upcoming AGWS charity events, please visit agws.com/news-events.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, located in
Memphis, Tennessee, is one of the world’s premier
pediatric cancer research centers. Its mission is to
find cures for children with cancer and other
catastrophic diseases through research and
treatment. AGWS sponsors an annual fundraiser
golf event with St. Jude. To date, this annual
event has raised $762,631. The money will help
ensure that families never receive a bill from the
hospital for treatment, travel, housing, or food because all a family should worry about is
helping their child live.
Hesed House is a national model for ending
homelessness - one person, one family at a time.
It is the culmination of nearly three decades of
strategic evolution, from a formerly acceptable
model of “eats and sheets,” to a Comprehensive
Homeless Resource Center. Today, Hesed House is
a Chicagoland campus of centralized, highly skilled
professionals collaborating to provide the tools
necessary to help individuals and families break
free of the shackles binding them to homelessness.
To date, the annual AGWS Great Gatsby Gala has
raised $334,975.
