Volunteer Charity
Our Desire to Help Our Community Does Not Stop with Our Clients. Here are Some of the Other Things We Are Doing to Help San Diego.
San Diego‚ CA is one of the best places in the world to live. The Jurewitz Law Group Injury & Accident Lawyers is dedicated to helping San Diego become even better‚ to help out those less fortunate to improve their lives‚ and to help local and national charities acheive their significant and important goals.
During 2010‚ the Jurewitz Law Group Injury & Accident Lawyers is working on two charitable projects‚ one of which will help San Diego’s schools and the other which will help to fight one of the leading causes of death in America.
We are a supporting sponsor of Teens Against Distracted Driving (T.A.D.D.) which encourages teens and their parents to keep teens from texting while driving. As a sponsor‚ the Jurewitz Law Group Injury & Accident Lawyers is helping local schools‚ PTA organizations‚ and youth organizations raise money for their organizations through the sale of molded rubber wristbands (like the ones used by LiveSTRONG). Our office will purchase the rubber wristbands at our cost and provide them free of charge to these organizations to sell to parents and teenagers who take the pledge not to text and drive.
Our office is also contributing a percentage of our profits toward the fight against cancer through the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. Ovarian cancer is often an overlooked form of cancer and is one of the hardest types of cancer to detect. Once it is detected‚ it is often too late.
