Inspiring Philanthropy
Sharing is Great! The Wong family's long-established tradition of philanthropy set a course that gives their business and family surplus back to the community. Our efforts to find the most value in each dollar we donate have fostered a role of involvement, participation and in many instances, partnerships. The Wong family is flexible and responsive with funding and continually watchful of how and where they can contribute to the maximum and lasting benefit of our entire community. We are thankful for the rich heritage of United States history and strive to be a positive influence on its future.
