"We saw an article in the paper about a shortfall in donations to the Angel Tree program and we saw this is an opportunity to help but more importantly challenge other law firms and businesses to step up and eradicate this funding gap. The donation will hopefully serve to provide gifts to at least 100 children. No child should have a Christmas without a present to unwrap."
