Donor Spotlight: WGFriends

One screenplay here at WGF that we keep going back to is Groundhog Day (written by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis), which tells the story of a man living the same day over and over and over again. Coincidentally, here at WGF we have WGFriends, our monthly giving program where donors set up an automated, recurring gift and donate over and over and over again.

Monthly giving is an easy, yet impactful way to support the Writers Guild Foundation. Our WGFriends provide financial stability and ensure WGF’s success with each and every gift. This Groundhog Day, we’d like to give them an extra special “thank you” and share some of their favorite scripts.

Next time you visit the library, check out these incredible recs!
