At Wallis Companies, we believe community involvement extends beyond the walls of our stores. Whether it’s helping with fund raising efforts or volunteering time or taking an active role in programs that make our neighborhoods better places to live, Wallis Companies and our associates are committed to helping our neighbors and giving back to the community.

All Stars for Autism

Every April during Autism Awareness month, Wallis Companies proudly joins the All-Stars for Autism campaign to benefit TouchPoint Autism Services.  This is an opportunity for Wallis Companies to support children and families living with autism. 

1 in every 100 children will be diagnosed with autism.  The statistics are staggering.  The funds we raise during this campaign help support the mission and programs of TouchPoint and expand the circle of support for individuals with autism. Learn more by visiting www.touchpointautism.org.

Relay for Life

Wallis Companies has partnered with the American Cancer Society — Relay for Life — in support for many years. Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back against this disease. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team keeps at least one team member on the track at all times.

Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another. Read more at www.relayforlife.org.
