Community matters at The Lawyers of Brown & Roberto. We are dedicated to serving both our clients and our community and proudly support the Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee.
Head trauma is a leading cause – and a preventable one – of new cases of epilepsy. This is particularly true in children, especially in families with a lower socioeconomic status.
#Lids4Kids
Each year the firm sponsors an art contest to raise awareness of the importance of bicycle safety among kids and provides helmets for children in need. This year we are partnering with New Hopewell Elementary and Mt. Olive Elementary Schools.
We challenged children from each school to submit art projects that communicate the importance of bicycle safety. Our judges will choose the very best entries. We’ll share those on our Facebook page where you can vote for your favorites. The winners will earn new bicycle helmets for their whole class.
Get Involved
Instead of simply making a donation like we normally do, we thought we it would be nice to increase our impact by making this a community effort. Join us in giving to this great cause and The Lawyers of Brown & Roberto will match every dollar donated (up to $1000) this month.
Make your gift conveniently online at our Fundly page. In addition to making a donation, you can use email, Twitter or Facebook to help us spread the word.
Stay tuned all this month for more information on epilepsy, our art contest, and the #Lids4Kids campaign and make sure to “Like” us on Facebook!
Upgrade: The Top 5 Posters from each school are now up on our Facebook page. Visit now to vote for your favorites! Winners will be announced the week of May 12.
