Lawyer joins Don Bosco Hall board of directors
George V. Cassar, Jr., shareholder at Southfield-based Maddin, Hauser, Wartell, Roth & Heller P.C., has been named to the board of directors of Don Bosco Hall.
Don Bosco Hall (www.donboscohall.org) is a Detroit-based, non-profit agency that provides supportive human services to enhance the quality of life for youth and their families residing in the metropolitan Detroit-Wayne County community. Since 1954, the organization has touched the lives of more than 50,000 children, keeping them out of trouble by keeping them occupied and off the streets.
“It was important for me to not only be on the board of directors of an organization that serves such a vital service to the youth of the metropolitan community but to join an organization that I could relate to and one I felt I could really make a difference in,” said Cassar, “Don Bosco Hall is committed to improving the lives of children and families that, without the help of the organization, may have never had the chance to improve their lives in such a remarkable way. I personally know the importance of having community support and the value of a solid education as a kid, especially when finances are scarce and your dreams seem all but impossible.”
