We aim to give the best of ourselves each day in our work and in our community. Our Pro Bono Coordinator, Jessica Stankus Smith, works to find opportunities for our attorneys to provide assistance. And team members throughout BrownGreer participate in volunteer projects each year, including those selected by the BrownGreer Philanthropy Committee for sponsorship. A few recent examples include:

Atlantic Outreach: AOG’s Fresh Start Recovery Program a full-service recovery program designed to help individuals who are experiencing substance use barriers transition to self-sufficient living. AOG is one example of organizations nationwide that are working tirelessly to provide resources and support to people who are struggling.  In support of that effort in our local community, BrownGreer coordinated a supply drive in 2024.
