Transwestern has raised more than $142k through various fundraising events held in its 34 offices nationwide, all of which will benefit the firm’s national philanthropy partner, Make-A-Wish, in its efforts to grant wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Some of the events around the US included:

  • A competition between Virginia team members to see whose neck tie inventory would last longer.

  • Partnering with the 2016 Art and Wine Festival in Walnut Creek, CA.

  • A stair climb in Houston, where 40 young professionals climbed 55 stories.
