Our staff at Kohn Law Firm has a long standing commitment to support its community.   Various charity fund raisers are held throughout the year in the firm.  We support the American Heart Association’s Wear Red day in February, usually with an award to wear jeans to work with a donation.

In September, the firm supported the Walk to Cure Diabetes through donations to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International.  In walking through the firm, there are tack boards with multiple years of their “shoe” receipt hanging as a reminder of our long standing commitment there.  Employees also earned a jeans day in October supporting Special Olympics during a “Toss the Boss” rappelling event held at what will be our new office space.  All funds donated by employees were matched by the firm.  (And we opted to toss our new building manager over the edge this year instead of any firm boss.)

We have pitted departments and teams against each other for a Pennies War to support UNICEF, marking the second year this charity has been supported.  We’ll see employees in costume on Halloween, and a few will have some bragging rights. 

The holiday season brings out additional generosity from our staff.  The Hunger Task Force has been supported by Kohn Law Firm for many years during the holiday season.  The firm will again match all monetary donations received from employees who are buying up to four days to wear jeans in December. 

KLF is FIT FRIENDLY!
