The estate planning lawyers at NW Legacy Law recently demonstrated their commitment to community support by participating in a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon & SW Washington. The legal team and their families engaged in fundraising activities on October 4, raising awareness about the local branch of this national charity while contributing to its efforts to support chronically ill children and their families. This initiative reflects how professional service organizations can extend their community impact beyond their core business operations through meaningful corporate social responsibility.
Ronald McDonald House Charities operates as a national organization that provides a home away from home and community support for seriously ill or injured children and their families. Families with children receiving treatment at local hospitals can stay at Ronald McDonald House facilities free of charge, eliminating the financial burden of hotel accommodations that can cost hundreds of dollars or more. This support becomes particularly crucial for families facing extended medical treatments, where accommodation expenses could otherwise become overwhelming during already stressful circumstances. The charity's mission aligns with compassionate community support during some of life's most challenging moments.
Tania Gitch, the chairperson for the governing board of Ronald McDonald House in Oregon, coordinated the fundraising event that NW Legacy Law supported. The firm contributed both financial resources and volunteer time to help ensure the fundraiser's success. This partnership highlights how legal professionals can contribute to supporting vulnerable families during medical crises, complementing their regular work in estate planning and probate matters. As estate planning lawyers, NW Legacy Law's team helps individuals and families plan for their futures through services including will preparation, advanced directives, and investment strategies designed to avoid probate complications.
The firm's involvement with Ronald McDonald House Charities demonstrates how corporate social responsibility initiatives can create meaningful community connections beyond traditional business relationships. By supporting families navigating difficult medical challenges, NW Legacy Law extends its values of compassion and advocacy into the broader community. This approach shows how professional service organizations can leverage their resources and expertise to address critical community needs while maintaining their primary focus on client services. The fundraising effort represents a tangible example of how businesses can integrate social responsibility into their operational philosophy while making a measurable difference in the lives of families facing medical adversity.
