Warner Norcross raises more than $10,000 for community organizations
During 2010, staff and attorneys in the law firm of Warner Norcross & Judd LLP raised more than $10,000 in donations for Michigan
charities.
Several internal fundraisers were held throughout the year as part of the firm’s Holiday Aid efforts raising donations of both money and food items.
Fundraising events included a book sale, white elephant sale, sundae bar, Halloween breakfast and weekly candy sales, among other activities.
Each of the firm’s six offices designated funds they raised to specific charities throughout the state, including homeless shelters, food pantries and children’s advocacy agencies. These included donations to:
—The Karmanos Cancer Center from the Southfield and Sterling Heights offices in honor of Warner Norcross partner Mike Cruse, who is battling pancreatic cancer. The firm’s donation will help fund research to develop advanced screening technology to detect pancreatic cancer at its earliest stages.
—The Lansing City Rescue Mission from the Lansing office, which provided four barrels full of food to those in need within the community.
—Feeding America West Michigan from the firm’s Muskegon office, which purchased approximately 10,000 pounds of food. Warner Norcross volunteers helped distribute food to more than 300 families in need.
—Degage Ministries and the Children’s Assessment Center from the Grand Rapids office to support their work with the homeless and with victims of child sexual abuse, respectively.
—The Children’s Advocacy Center and the Community Action House from the firm’s Holland office to support their work with victims of child sexual abuse and providing emergency food, clothing and shelter services, respectively.
“As a law firm, we are committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work,” said Douglas E. Wagner, managing partner. “Commitment from Warner Norcross attorneys and staff made these fundraising efforts successful. The firm is proud to continue its community efforts to help provide for those in need across Michigan.”
