WTMJ MACC Fund Make-A-Wish Story

I heard from several people about TMJ4's recent news story, MACC: Nollenn's Wish, which narrates a young Milwaukee boy's battle against cancer and the Make-A-Wish Foundation celebration of his remission. His sister was seen by Wisconsin viewers wearing her Brookfield Soccer Pasternak & Zirgibel jersey.

Obviously, my law firm supports the Brookfield Soccer Association, and after seeing this young girl proudly wearing her jersey in this story, it made donations to support both the MACC Fund and Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin.

The WTMJ story was a precursor to the upcoming MACC Fund Sports Auction to be held on TMJ4 this Saturday, December 12, 2009 at Noon.

Wisconsin Lawyers Sponsoring Golf Outings

The Wisconsin lawyers I know generally try to share the benefits of their practice with charitable groups. This year my firm is sponsoring the Sharon Lynn Wilson Center for the Arts Golf Classic on June 18, 2007 and the Saint Francis Seminary Golf Benefit on July 30, 2007. I hope you are able to join us or at least give to these organizations.

Buffet Trying to Level the Playing Field

Warren Buffett is one of my favorite business-finance gurus but his latest action shows why he's a great human being. Buffett is giving away about 85% of his wealth to Bill Gates charitable foundation. That's $30.7 BILLION.

Buffett's comment to Fortune on his kids is most interesting:

"But I would argue that when your kids have all the advantages anyway, in terms of how they grow up and the opportunities they have for education, including what they learn at home -- I would say it's neither right nor rational to be flooding them with money. In effect, they've had a gigantic headstart in a society that aspires to be a meritocracy. Dynastic mega-wealth would further tilt the playing field that we ought to be trying instead to level."
