Bilzin Sumberg and United Way Dedicate Day of Service to Belafonte TACOLCY Center
Over 110 Bilzin Sumberg attorneys, staff, and their families, along with their counterparts at United Way, gathered at the TACOLCY Center to learn about its various programs and activities for local youth and families, spanning education, technology, athletics, and the arts.
The volunteers then broke out into small groups to paint the inside and outside of the facility, plant bushes along the outside of the building, build picnic tables for staff members, and organize their supply room.
“We are delighted and honored to lend our efforts to enhancing the TACOLCY Center as Liberty City’s preeminent venue for youth enrichment,” remarked Lori Lustrin, a Partner in the Trial & Litigation Group and Chair of the Bilzin Sumberg Cares program, “the opportunity to contribute to the transformational work of the Center inspires all of us at Bilzin Sumberg.”
The Belafonte TACOLCY Center offers a diverse range of programs designed to inspire, educate, and empower the Liberty City community. From youth development and educational initiatives to health and wellness services, each program is carefully crafted to meet the evolving needs of the local community, fostering growth, learning, and positive change. Currently, TACOLCY engages more than 5,000 youth and parents each year through direct services, programs and events.
