WS+B Receives Top Volunteer Donor Award from Philadelphia Business Journal

WithumSmith+Brown, PC, was honored at Philadelphia Business Journal’s Corporate Philanthropy Summit on April 26, 2012, ranking #1 in the category of Top Volunteer Donor – Medium Size Businesses. The award recognizes the firm for the number of volunteer hours the staff devoted to the not-for-profit community in the Greater Philadelphia area. Richard Cohen, partner-in-charge of WS+B’s Philadelphia office, accepted the award on behalf of the firm.

The Philadelphia Business Journal recognized the top Philadelphia-area businesses which made substantial donations to community organizations through cash contributions, in-kind contributions and volunteer hours. The 81 corporate donors who were recognized collectively represent $62,978,130 cash donations, $116,720,029 of in-kind donations, and 287,611hours of volunteer service.

"WithumSmith+Brown greatly encourages our staff to participate in community outreach activities," Maraziti said. "And so many of our staff — as individuals or in teams — are out almost every weekend, walking, bicycling, running, Zumba-ing or parading with their pets, all for the sake of helping others in need."

The awards program was held at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel. The full list of winners are profiled in the special print supplement in the April 27 issue of Philadelphia Business Journal. For more information on the Business Journal Corporate Philanthropy Sumit visit this link.
