In 2009, the firm selected Ride On St. Louis, Hospice of Southern Illinois, Inc., Community Women Against Hardship, and Sunshine Ministries as its primary charitable beneficiaries, and donated $12,242.60 to those organizations. In addition, the firm’s members pledged over $20,000 to the United Way and gave approximately $4,500 to several other organizations in the area. The firm also underwrote all expenses (about $10,000) needed to raise the above funds, so that 100% of receipts could go directly to the organizations benefited.
Tim Sansone, chair of the firm’s Charitable Efforts Committee, said he is “always amazed” at the generosity of his colleagues. “They’re ready to give their time or open their wallets even in tough economic times. They make my job easy, as do the staff, secretaries, paralegals, and attorneys who make up our committee.”
