    In addition to a financial commitment, Hill Wallack LLP is excited about many of its lawyers and staff serving as volunteers for the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games with assignments ranging from setup and registration to airport greeters and athlete escorts. As the Presenting Sponsor of Spectator Services, an integral function of the 2014 USA Games, firm employees will also be providing information such as schedules and maps to all event visitors.

It’s an honor to be part of an organization that truly makes a difference.” Partner Denise M. Bowman said, “I volunteer because I want my children to see the value of incorporating volunteerism into their lives.” Hill Wallack Counsel, Jordan S. Friedman was quoted, “Stories of perseverance are important to both me and my family, and I look forward to being on hand for equally important ones that the athletes will be telling on the field and their families and friends will be reveling in.”
