Talk about taking generosity to new heights! We’re looking back fondly on Williams' Top Give campaign (inspired by Top Gun), which raised a remarkable $1.1 million to get our neighbors out of the Danger Zone and on the path to financial stability. From volunteering at the Salvation Army to tennis and ping pong tournaments, this team found so many ways to take flight and uplift our community.
