5/11/2012:  Pittsburgh-based ABG Capital and its employees take time out of their Friday afternoon to volunteer at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies.

Loaded with buckets of water and sponges, around twenty ABG Capital employees, a few spouses and some kids showed up to help clean the tombstones to make them tidy for Memorial Day in a few weeks.

“There couldn’t have been a more perfect day to be outside giving back to the community, especially to Veterans and their families who have given so much to our country,” said Jeff Tapolci, who owns ABG Capital along with his brother, Jason.

“This is who we are and who our company is,” said Jason.  Several employees commented, including Erica Hollyfield.  “It’s so awesome that our company allows us to do things like this,” said Hollyfield.

“What an eye opening experience this is, it really puts life in perspective,” said Dan Ravenstahl, one of the other owners and President of GlobalPOPs, a portfolio company of ABG Capital.
