Founded in 1945, the Gases and Welding Distributors Association (GAWDA) is dedicated to promoting the safe operation and economic vitality of distributors of industrial gases and related welding equipment supplies.
Through its GAWDA Gives Back campaign, association members have donated almost $2 million over the last 16 years to 22 different charitable organizations in 13 communities across the U.S.
Since 2013, GAWDA and its members also have provided scholarships totaling $94,000 to 47 young people interested in studies leading to careers in the industry. For more information, visit the association’s website at www.gawda.org.
