Allison Clago Dedicated to Giving Back
Allison Clago leverages more than three decades of experience to her role as the managing director of investments at Wedbush Securities, Inc. A breast cancer survivor, Allison Clago has contributed $300,000 in recent years to three Southern California organizations dedicated to fighting cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
She donated $100,000 to support a proposed center at California Lutheran University to train student researchers. Ms. Clago, who initially enrolled at Cal Lutheran in 1980, withdrew before completing her degree. After working to earn her remaining credits, she received her degree in business administration in 2018.
She gave another $100,000 each to the Providence Tarzana Medical Center and the John Wayne Cancer Institute, both of which she credits with having saved her life after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The goal was to fund research into new ways of fighting disease that do not subject the body to harsh, invasive procedures.
Additionally, Ms. Clago has endowed a scholarship fund for finance students at Cal Lutheran in recognition of the education she received at the university, which she credits for much of the success she has achieved.
