The backpacks and school supplies are the result of a $64,500 purchase made by the
personal injury law firm to help families in the Southern California communities it serves.
“We are delighted that our donations have increased from $11,700 two years ago to $64,500 this year,” said Walter Clark, CEO & President of Walter Clark Legal Group. “It’s always touching and inspirational to see the faces of the students when they select their backpacks.”
As the increasing costs of consumer goods continue to impact family budgets, Walter Clark Legal Group wants to help relieve the pressure. Education tops the list of social issues important to Clark, who strongly believes that “democracy cannot succeed without education.” This donation is one of several campaigns executed each year by the personal injury law firm to provide students with essential resources and equitable access to education.
