By: Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired “Year of Making a Difference” is a unique charitable awareness and fundraising initiative managed by Gallop that will benefit not only Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired but additional non-profit organizations in St. Louis that assist people right here in our community. David Ekin, President of the Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired says, “Thanks to Gallop, we will no doubt benefit from increased exposure and increased awareness of our mission. In addition, the firm’s attorneys and staff will provide much needed volunteer time here at the Society. We are honoured to partner with Gallop and to be a part of the ‘Year of Making a Difference’ initiative,” Gallop Managing Partner Thomas J. Campbell observes, “So far as we know, Gallop is the only law firm in St. Louis with a charitable program of this kind. Many law firms support a variety of non-profit enterprises. Yet, it is never enough because charitable needs in our community loom large. ‘The Year of Making a Difference’ is one way Gallop is trying to do more in a challenging economy.” The Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired is scheduled to participate in Gallop’s “The Year of Making a Difference” program in January 2012. Here is how the program works: Starting in January 2012 and throughout “The Year of Making a Difference,” Thomas J. Campbell, Managing Partner at Gallop, says, “We created ‘Year of Making a Difference’ to enhance our attorneys, paralegals and staff members’ current involvement with charitable organizations with a goal of helping even greater numbers of people, particularly children, during these challenging economic times for non-profits.
