MIAMI, FL – On February 8, in connection with its Bilzin Sumberg Cares community involvement program, Bilzin Sumberg partnered with United Way Miami to support Norland Elementary School through the enhancement and beautification of the school’s campus in North Miami.

Over 100 Bilzin Sumberg attorneys, staff, and their families, along with their counterparts at United Way, gathered at Norland Elementary School to learn about the school’s widespread impact on students and families in the North Miami community, fostering robust youth development and long-term educational success.

Volunteers spent the day revitalizing Norland’s facility inside and out. They painted both the interior and exterior of classrooms, enhanced the landscape by planting bushes and flowers along the perimeter, built shelving and meticulously organized supplies for the school’s science room, leaving a lasting impact on Norland Elementary School’s functionality and appearance.

“We are proud to support Norland Elementary School and partner with United Way Miami to help strengthen a space that plays such a vital role in the community,” said Lori Lustrin, Partner in Bilzin Sumberg’s Trial & Litigation Group and Chair of the Bilzin Sumberg Cares program. “Opportunities like this reflect our firm’s commitment to service and reinforce the importance of investing our time and talents in initiatives that benefit children and families.”

Norland Elementary School plays a vital role in supporting students and families in the North Miami community by fostering a safe, engaging, and nurturing learning environment. Through dedicated educators, school-based resources, and strong community partnerships, Norland is committed to meeting the evolving needs of its students and helping them build a strong foundation for long-term academic and personal success. Each year, the school positively impacts hundreds of children and families by promoting educational growth, stability, and opportunity.

Bilzin Sumberg Cares is the cornerstone of the firm’s philanthropic efforts, fostering a culture of community service and social responsibility.
