The holidays bring out the best in people and we love working with so many wonderful organizations with the goal of helping others less fortunate have something to celebrate.
Examples of this sort of partnership are groups who have organized toy drives to benefit Second Chance families, such as the team at Spa Hollywood, Women’s Resource Center Peer Counselors, First Step staff, the Sarasota Farmers’ Market, and the Laurel Oaks Women’s Golf Association. Then there are the locations that are accepting donations of unwrapped gifts such as Nicole Salon on Palm, Chase Bank, Peggy Ann’s Consignment, James Griffith Salon, Shapes Fitness, and Finebloom, Haenel & Higgins.
In addition to our generous Christmas sponsors The Granite Place, Distinctive Surfaces, and European Marble, we have a new partner for all the holidays.
We are delighted to announce that Florida criminal defense law firm Finebloom, Haenel & Higgins has partnered with Second Chance-Last Opportunity to help provide holiday meals and as a drop off point for our annual Toy Drive.
The law firm approached SCLO when they read about our struggle to provide for all our clients and the lightbulb went off. ‘When I read in the newspaper that there were families going without Thanksgiving dinner, I knew that we had to assist”, says David Haenel, a founding partner of the firm. Attorney and business partner Darren Finebloom was right behind the effort as sponsors of our holiday activities. “To be able to bring joy to kids through holiday toys – well, what could be better than that? We are happy to be part of this community effort.”
