Clark Hill Impacts Communities Through Month of Giving

Throughout the month of May, Clark Hill embarked on a firmwide “Month of Giving” to positively impact communities near its offices across the U.S. and in Dublin, Ireland.

In total, Clark Hill supplied more than 800 food and resource kits, served meals at 14 food banks/agencies, participated in four community and garden clean-ups, and fundraised by participating in a 5/10K race.

“Our Clark Hill Cares program is a key part of our outreach to our local communities, and we are thrilled with the impact we were able to make throughout the month,” said Detroit Member-in-Charge Maria Dwyer. “In addition to serving our communities, we also brought our team together, and that was a win-win for Clark Hill and the numerous organizations we assisted.”

The following is a summary of each office’s impact:
