The estate planning lawyers at NW Legacy Law have demonstrated their commitment to community support by raising funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon & SW Washington, an organization that provides essential services to families navigating difficult medical challenges. The firm's 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. This initiative reflects how professional service organizations can extend their community impact beyond their core business operations, particularly in supporting vulnerable populations during times of crisis.
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, as detailed on their official website at https://www.rmhc.org. 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. The charity's local operations in Oregon and Southwest Washington serve as a critical resource for families who might otherwise struggle with both medical and financial burdens simultaneously.
The firm donated a significant amount of money to the local Ronald McDonald House, as well as time to help with the event coordinated by Tania Gitch, the chairperson for the governing board of Ronald McDonald House in Oregon. 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 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. Their involvement with this charity highlights how their professional expertise in managing future uncertainties through estate planning aligns with supporting families facing immediate medical crises.
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 firm's participation in the fundraiser represents more than just financial support—it signifies a recognition of the interconnectedness between legal preparedness for the future and present-day community support systems. By aligning their professional values with charitable action, NW Legacy Law has shown how estate planning attorneys can play a multifaceted role in community wellbeing, addressing both long-term legal protections and immediate humanitarian needs faced by families in medical distress.
