According to Tournament co-founders Mitchell Widom, partner at Bilzin Sumberg, and Glenn Widom of Glenn L. Widom, P.A., a prime factor that makes the event so unique is the overwhelming support it receives from the legal community. More than 200 law firms throughout South Florida participate annually in the event, along with other professional services firms and major corporations.
Along with its numerous sponsors and participants, hundreds of law firms throughout the country participate each year in this event to raise awareness of Crohns Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, said Mitchell. These firms, that usually go head-to-head in the courtroom, have found common ground in the battle against these debilitating diseases.
