CR Gala 2026

Yesterday was an especially meaningful afternoon as Airdo Werwas, LLC Founding Members Michael A. Airdo and Mollie E. Werwas were honored with the Congregation of the Resurrection’s 2026 Vision of Hope Award.

The celebration was beautifully done, with thoughtful remarks, wonderful food and drinks, a harp, the Polonia Ensemble Dancers, and so many moments that reflected the warmth of the community gathered together. Michael and Mollie both shared heartfelt remarks, and it was equally meaningful to hear from others whose words spoke to the relationships, service, and shared values that made the afternoon so special.

What meant the most, however, was seeing so many people there in support of Michael and Mollie. We are especially grateful to Anno Domini Advisors, Associated Equipment Distributors, Empower Strategies Group LLC, Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, and Primera Group Inc. for their generous sponsorship and for helping make the celebration possible. Our attorneys and staff, clients, friends, and family also helped make the afternoon feel deeply personal. Having so many people from different parts of their lives and work gathered in one room was a powerful reminder of the relationships that have shaped their journey and continue to give meaning to the work we do.

We are incredibly grateful to the Congregation of the Resurrection for such a beautiful afternoon, and to everyone who joined us in celebrating Michael and Mollie. It was a gathering filled with gratitude, friendship, and a true sense of community, and one we will remember for a long time.
