For the second year, Burke Costanza & Carberry LLP competed in the Attorney General\u2019s March Against Hunger Food Drive Competition. This year, the attorneys and staff donated over 778 pounds of food and $4,080 dollars to the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana.\u00a0 These dollars and pounds translated to over 20,000 points in the contest and BCC is hoping this number will lead in the medium sized firm division.<\/p>\n
During the month of March, contest organizers within the firm kept donations flowing in through a series of inter-firm competitions and practice group rivalries. Creative leadership within each of the practice groups resulted in a variety of contests, bake sales, and fundraising efforts.\u00a0 Though the inter-firm rivalries and team spirit kept the contest lighthearted and fun, the participants were well aware their efforts addressed a very serious need in Northwest Indiana. The firm kicked off this year\u2019s campaign with remarks from Derek Frazier, procurement manager of the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana.\u00a0 Many were surprised to learn the Food Bank distributed over 5 million pounds of food in 2011 alone.<\/p>\n
At the close of the competition, the mood in the firm was nearly jubilant as the totals of donated food and funds were tallied and announced. Managing partner George Carberry<\/a> summed up the BCC\u2019s efforts:<\/p>\n While the generosity of my co-workers and colleagues at the firm is not surprising to me, the sheer volume of their food and financial contributions toward the Attorney General\u2019s \u201cMarch Against Hunger\u201d is both inspiring and humbling.\u00a0 The good people of BCC \u201cMarched Against Hunger\u201d the same way Grant, as the saying goes, \u201cmarched against Richmond;\u201d their selfless efforts amounted to an all-out \u201cattack\u201d on hunger in the State of Indiana, and as a result of their good work in response to the Attorney General\u2019s call, many, many Hoosiers will be able to feed their families in the months ahead.\u00a0 I\u2019m also very grateful to my colleague Ann Marie Woolwine for her smart and enthusiastic leadership of our office campaign.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n BCC awaits word from the Attorney General\u2019s office as to how its efforts rank in this year\u2019s competition.\u00a0 Regardless of the outcome, the firm is proud of its successful campaign and the generosity of its members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the second year, Burke Costanza & Carberry LLP competed in the Attorney General\u2019s March Against Hunger Food Drive Competition.
