AGC Charities Inc. delivers a lasting reminder that contractors care about the communities where we hold our Annual Convention. AGC Charities organized a successful volunteer charity project in Orlando during our Annual Convention. This year, AGC’s charitable arm partnered with member-firm Wharton-Smith to make improvements to Give Kids the World Village. The Village offers families with terminally ill children an all-expenses paid trip to Orlando and its world-famous theme parks. Several dozen AGC members arrived in Orlando early to spend the day building fences, painting walls and making new connections, all in the name of helping a worthwhile cause.
