The Wharton County Junior College Foundation is proud to announce they have accepted a gift of $2500 from the Law Firm of Wadler, Perches, Hundl & Kerlick. The firm, which operates its main office out of downtown Wharton, but also maintains offices in Richmond, Fulshear, El Campo, and Bay City, has also pledged a matching campaign to benefit the Foundation. Wadler, Perches, Hundl, & Kerlick has been a pillar of the local community, assisting its clients since it was founded in 1960.
“We are so proud to support a worthy organization that helps provide students with affordable higher education opportunities,” said Philip Hundl, who serves as the managing partner of Wadler, Perches, Hundl & Kerlick. “We know that we are a part of a strong philanthropic community here, so our firm and I are proud to support the WCJC Foundation.” As a WCJC alumnus, Hundl credits the College with providing him a strong educational foundation that propelled him into successful business and legal careers. Hundl further explains, “Our hope is the gift and matching campaign will encourage and challenge other businesses, groups and individuals in the area to support WCJC in creative ways.”
The Wharton County Junior College Foundation, a 501(C)(3) non-profit whose mission is to provide educational awareness and financial support to Wharton County Junior College (“WCJC”), has been expanding their outreach and impact over the past year. This includes the launch of a new website and social media channels to increase community engagement and build awareness of Foundation scholarships and opportunities to give.
The gift and matching campaign were praised by the Foundation’s President, Gordon Sorrel, “We are thrilled that businesses like Wadler, Perches, Hundl & Kerlick want to support our mission,” Sorrel said. “Thank you to the firm for their generosity and willingness to create a positive impact on our community and specifically the students that we serve.”
The WCJC Foundation Office is located on Wharton campus, located inside the J. M. Hodges Library. For more information on ways to give to the Foundation or to learn how you can support this effort visit wcjcfoundation.org or contact Jonathan Jeter at jeterj@wcjc.edu or 979-532-6981.
