On September 24, 2011 the partners, associates, clerks, assistants and students from Howard Yegendorf & Associates and their families came out to support the Canadian Paraplegic Association Ontario at the annual Ottawa Wheelchair Relay Challenge. Howard Yegendorf & Associates was proud to be a silver sponsor of the event. CPA Ontario’s mission is to assist people with spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities to achieve independence, self-reliance and full community participation. Howard Yegendorf & Associates entered three teams in the relay: Legal Revolutions, The Yeg Heads and The Yeg Heads 2. While we didn’t win the award for fastest team, what we lacked in speed we made up for in fundraising. Team members raised over $4,800.00 in donations. Najma Rashid, a partner at the firm, was one of the top individual fundraisers at the event raising over $1,400.00 in donations. We look forward to participating again next year!
