Gar Wood Securities joined industry leaders at the 2025 Invest For Kids Chicago conference – an event that unites finance professionals to share insights and support youth-focused charities across Chicago.

Gar Wood Securities was a proud sponsor of the recent Sopel Foundation for Dyslexia's annual golf outing. It was a fantastic day to swing the irons with Brent Sopel and so many foundation supporters.

Gar Wood Securities proudly sponsored a private collector car show at the East River Helipad in New York City. The event brought together vintage cars, families, and the local community — reflecting our commitment to building connections beyond finance.

Gar Wood team joined former National Hockey League (NHL) players – including Brent Sopel – Illinois labor union members, families and friends from our incredible community to sponsor an unforgettable charity hockey event in support of Sopel Foundation for Dyslexia and its mission to raise awareness for dyslexia and ADHD.
