Community Involvement

Sommers Schwartz Foundation

At Sommers Schwartz, we see the practice of law as an essential service to society that is accompanied by a responsibility to support charitable efforts and organizations that enrich our community. At Sommers Schwartz, we believe that success brings with it responsibility. That is why our firm's shareholders have established a foundation to enhance education and the quality of life in our communities.

Through the Sommers, Schwartz, Silver & Schwartz Foundation, our attorneys and staff have made substantial contributions of time and financial assistance to charitable, community, and civic endeavors, including Volunteer Impact, The Orchards, Special Olympics, fundraising for local hospitals, and work with children, families, and youth sports organizations.
