PHILADELPHIA, February 8, 2021 — Cozen O’Connor donated $100,000 to 20 food banks across the country and Canada where the firm has offices.

During the 2020 holiday season, the firm launched its Help the Hungry Initiative, asking employees to donate money and promising a 1:1 match from the firm’s foundation. The donation drive ended in early 2021 with $56,000 raised from employee contributions. The Cozen O’Connor Foundation then matched those donations with a $56,000 donation, totaling $112,000 donated to local food banks in Atlanta, Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Harrisburg, Pa., Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Va., San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Wilmington, Del. The firm also made a donation to a food bank in Toronto, Canada.

“From the founding of our firm over 50 years ago, ‘giving back’ to the communities where we practice and live has always been a core value of Cozen O’Connor,” said Michael J. Heller, Executive Chairman and CEO of Cozen O’Connor. “Last year was especially difficult for so many people, we felt the need to do something above and beyond our traditional philanthropy. We were thrilled by the response from our employees.”
