IN OUR COMMUNITY
At WWM Investments LLC, our connection to Chicago goes beyond providing wealth planning services for our clients. We are proud to support various non-profit organizations in the greater Chicagoland area. Through our voluntary efforts and/or monetary contributions, we have supported this mission of the following charitable organizations:
WWM Investments has been a long-time supporter of Chicago’s Mixed Martial Arts community, committed to fostering growth both inside and outside the dojo. As an inner-city-based organization, they go beyond teaching self-defense skills. In every youth class, students are instilled with core values such as respect, hard work, and dedication—principles that shape their character and guide them throughout their lives. Whether on the mat or in the world, these valuable lessons empower young individuals to succeed and make a positive impact in their communities.
WWM Investments is proud to be a Platinum sponsor of the 2025 Chicago Polar Plunge (CPBC), an incredible event that has united people in support of local families in need since 2001.
The CPBC is more than just a chilly dip into Lake Michigan each January; it’s a powerful community tradition that raises vital funds for families facing hardships in Chicago. Through this event, participants help provide critical resources that empower families to thrive, from essential financial support to life-changing services.
The WWM Investments is a proud sponsor and supporter of the “DSCC Meals on Wheels Golf Charity Event.”
The DuPage Senior Citizens Council (DSCC) takes the lead in initiating, delivering, monitoring, and coordinating services that uphold the dignity of older individuals. Beyond being the leading provider of home-delivered meals to seniors in Illinois, DSCC offers comprehensive assistance, ranging from Well-Being Checks to Minor Home Repairs and pet care. Their commitment to aiding seniors in navigating daily challenges is paramount, and we’re proud to support their mission.
WWM Investments proudly stood as the Founding Sponsor of the “6th Annual Halter Wildlife Kids & Clays Open,” supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) and their mission to keep families close during challenging times. RMHC® ensures families have access to vital medical care for their children while being actively engaged in their child’s care, promoting togetherness and support.
Erie Neighborhood House opened its doors to the people of Chicago 150 years ago, making it the oldest operating settlement house in the city. At its annual awards dinner, they celebrated this major milestone and their history of impact. WWM Investments was proud to be one of the sponsors of this event on March 5, 2020.
Proceeds from the evening supported services and programs that open doors and create opportunities for the people of our community.
Honorary 150th Anniversary Chairs included:
Senator Dick Durbin
Governor J.B. Pritzker
Mayor Lori Lightfoot
Each year DSCC serves and connects with over 4,700 seniors living in DuPage and Kane counties through home-delivered meals, well-being checks, friendly visits and many other critical services. Without these services, many seniors can lose their independence and, for many, the opportunity to live happily in their own homes.
The services that DSCC provides are funded by grants, donations and support from people in our community and events such as Aging Gracefully on November 19, 2019. Without this support, these much needed services and programs are at risk.
WWM Investments was a partner of local McDonald’s owner/operators from throughout the Chicago who came together for an encore presentation of “Rock the House” – a one-of-a-kind fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana on November 8, 2019.

Since 2011, Rock the House events have raised more than $1 million for local Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Celebrating Hispanic Heritage month and benefiting the Chicago HACER Scholarship, WWM partnered with MHOA to present Scholar “Chips and Salsa” on Saturday, October 5, 2019. Guests enjoyed food, music, drinks and a free salsa dancing lesson. Proceeds went directly to the Chicago HACER Scholarship.
The Black McDonald’s Operators Association of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana (BMOA) and UNCF Chicago presented the BMOA/UNCF golf outing on August 13, 2019, established to help area students get to and through college.
