COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Pro-Bono Work
Firm Philanthropy
In addition to spending time in the community, our Community Service Committee selects one local organization each month to focus our fundraising efforts towards. In 2023, with the help of the firm, we raised over $3,000 in donations for local charities. As a firm Marks Gray has collected donations from attorneys and staff during times of local, national and international crisis. During Hurricane Katrina, the firm raised over $11,500 toward relief efforts. The firm raised $5,130 for “Faith-Hope-Love Infant Rescue,” a non-profit orphanage in Haiti that was hit hard by the earthquakes in 2010. This nonprofit is run by a former Marks Gray employee.
