Announces Recipients Its 2011 Giving Fund CampaignVolpe and Koenig, PC, an intellectual property law firm with offices in Philadelphia and Princeton announced that Last Chance Ranch Animal Rescue and Urban Tree Connection will each receive grants through the firm’s 5th Annual Giving Fund Campaign.
By: Debra Andrews Last Chance Ranch (LCR) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all volunteer animal rescue group located in Quakertown, PA, that focuses on rescuing and rehabilitating horses and domestic companion animals. The Giving Fund will benefit the LCR’s partnership with the Philadelphia Police Department’s Mounted Patrol Program, in which the organization supplies rescued and rehabilitated horses. Funds will allow the organization to purchase the horses at auction and then train the horses for their new job. The organization will then supply the Philadelphia Mounted Patrol program with 7 horses by the end of the 2011. Said Lori McCutcheon, President, Last Chance Ranch, “Horses have been such a big part of my life. I have seen strangers flock to see and touch a horse with his magnificence and elegance that no one can put into words. The Giving Fund will help horses in need find their new niche in life to give back to the community who loves them.” Urban Tree Connection (UTC), located in Philadelphia, PA, partners with low-income communities in the city of Philadelphia to revitalize their neighborhoods through urban greening. The Giving Fund grant will benefit the development of an open-space initiative in the Haddington section of West Philadelphia (52nd Street, 63rd Street, Market Street and Girard Avenue). Each rehabilitated lot brings UTC neighborhoods closer to reaching a larger goal: to build and sustain a community-driven land use model that provides residents with safe, productive and beautiful green spaces that promote positive human interaction. Said Skip Weiner, UTC’s Founder and Executive Director, “I am extremely pleased and honored to have been selected for Volpe and Koenig’s Giving Fund grant for this year. The grant will help expand our farming and community revitalization footprint in Haddington, transforming additional land for farming, training and employing more community residents.” Based in Philadelphia and Princeton, NJ, Volpe and Koenig, P.C. is a law firm dedicated to the practice of intellectual property.
