Markhoff & Mittman P.C. Volunteer For Lifting Up Westchester Event

From Lifting Up Westchester: The disability and personal injury law office of Markhoff & Mittman P.C. was closed on the afternoon of Thursday, July 27 so that staff could volunteer at Lifting Up Westchester’s Brighter Futures Summer Camp for homeless and at-risk children. For the third year in a row, 25 volunteers from the law office helped at the camp’s annual Carnival Day, painting faces, running game booths, handing out prizes and serving ice cream. The carnival, a summer highlight for the 100 campers who range in age from 5-13 years, was held at the Mamaroneck Avenue Elementary School in White Plains.

Brian Mittman, Managing Partner of Markhoff & Mittman said, “At Markhoff and Mittman, The Disability Guys, our purpose is clear ...we enable people one person at a time. Being able to help create an exciting and memorable day for children who face unimaginable challenges that no child should have to deal with, has become one of the most rewarding days of the year for our firm. Seeing the expression on the children’s faces as we’re playing carnival games with them is inspiring. It is part of what we do, what we will continue to do and we are making a difference one child, one person at a time.”

“We’re thrilled that Markhoff & Mittman has, again, put on such a special day for our campers,” added Lifting Up Westchester Executive Director Anahaita Kotval. “They’re an ideal example of the great companies in our area who ‘walk the walk’ when it comes to corporate social responsibility. We’re proud to have them as partners in the fight against homelessness and hunger in Westchester County.”
