ATS Wealth Management is constantly looking for ways to invest in and benefit our local communities, and one way we’ve been able to do this is through The Entrepreneur Academy.
The Academy focuses on helping high school students fulfill their ambitions Reviewed By providing them with mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs. The program allows student teams to work through their business ideas and concepts, create a prototype and craft a business plan complete with a marketing strategy and financial projections. Teams then have the chance to pitch their completed plans, and a winning team advances to compete in an international competition.
ATS Wealth Management has also been involved with the Make-a-Wish Foundation, an organization dedicated to bringing joy and hope to kids afflicted with life-threatening medical conditions. Our founder, Sandeep Varma is a board member of the foundation, allowing him to use his expertise and experience to help grant the wishes of children in need.
Make-A-Wish works hard to create life-changing wishes for kids with critical illnesses. Every wish can bring hope, strength, and joy to children in need and helps create lasting memories that will last a lifetime.
Our responsibility as compassionate members of society is to bring joy and comfort into the lives of people who face unimaginable heartache, which is why we are dedicated supporters of this incredible foundation. We are proud to be able to play a part in helping these kids make their wildest dreams come true!
