Thank you to all Wildman customers for your understanding while the team was out of office to give back. Wildman’s four-day work week for service and production allows opportunities like this to happen.
The idea for a day of service came about as way to honor Wildman’s founder Rex Wildman. Rex was an “all-in” type of man. He had no reservations when it came to life, business or serving others, whether as a pilot in World War II, in his local church, as a city councilman or as an entrepreneur and philanthropist. This was the mindset on which Wildman was founded, so honoring Rex Wildman in this way more than seven decades later felt right.
Wildman encourages you to have a “No REXervations” mindset when it comes to serving others. If you are an employer, we invite you to host your own day of service.
