Our founder’s philosophy of giving back to the communities in which we live continues to inspire. The pandemic hasn’t dimmed the spirit of our employees to volunteer, if anything, it helped invigorate it. Ruder Ware Cares provides employees a way to give back to their community from the comfort and safety of their own desks. The firm is working with the United Ways in Marathon County, Chippewa Valley, and Brown County to offer three different volunteer projects three times within 2021. By partnering with the local United Ways, we are able to build upon their infrastructure and connections with local organizations to make a difference.
