The estate planning lawyers at NW Legacy Law are supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon & SW Washington, raising funds for families navigating difficult challenges. The NW Legacy Law legal team and their families participated in a fundraiser on Saturday, October 4, raising awareness of the local branch of the Ronald McDonald House charity and contributing to its local efforts to increase donations for chronically ill children and their families. The firm donated a significant amount of money to the local Ronald McDonald House, as well as time to help with the event.
Tania Gitch, the chairperson for the governing board of Ronald McDonald House in Oregon, coordinated the fundraiser. Ronald McDonald House is a national charity that provides a home away from home and a community of support for seriously ill or injured children and their families. Families with children being treated in local hospitals can stay at the Ronald McDonald House for free, rather than spending hundreds of dollars or more on hotel fees. This support becomes particularly important for families facing extended medical treatments, where accommodation costs can quickly become overwhelming during already stressful circumstances.
Working with the Ronald McDonald House reflects the NW Legacy Law firm's values of compassion and advocacy, as it helps people during some of the most emotionally trying times of their lives. As estate planning injury lawyers, the firm's legal team helps individuals and families plan for the future, including writing wills, advanced directives, and wise investments to avoid probate. The firm's involvement with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon & SW Washington highlights how professional service organizations can extend their community impact beyond their core business operations.
This type of corporate social responsibility initiative demonstrates how legal professionals can contribute to supporting vulnerable families during medical crises, complementing their regular work in estate planning and probate matters. The partnership between legal service providers and charitable organizations creates meaningful support systems for families who might otherwise face both medical and financial burdens simultaneously. By participating in fundraising events like the October 4 fundraiser, NW Legacy Law shows how law firms can integrate community service into their professional identity while addressing real needs in their local area.
