Through it Denim Day program, where each employee donates $5 in exchange for privilege to wear jeans to work, the employees of the firm raised $750.00, which the firm is matching for a total firm contribution of $1,500.00. The donation from Norris McLaughlin, P.A. will be made on behalf of the firm’s Japanese clients and friends.
In addition to the donation made by the firm and its employees, the firm also encouraged other to make donations by linking to the dedicated American Red Cross donation page for relief for the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami on Business Without Borders, its international business blog.
