“We started as a one-person shop in 1929, and over the course of 90 years, we’ve grown to become one of the largest firms in Southwestern Ontario. As we reflected on this significant milestone, we realized that we had to look beyond patting ourselves on the back with the typical gala or party. Without our clients, staff and friends, there would be no Lerners story; so, we decided we should give back by contributing to their stories,” said Graham Porter, Managing Partner. “We were astounded by the overwhelming and supportive reaction to the Giveaway, and humbled by the stories that we read. In addition to the more than 100 charities and organizations that we continue to support on an annual basis, we were grateful to learn more about so many other inspirational organizations in the communities we serve, dedicated to tirelessly supporting so many diverse needs. Every story we received is powerful in its own way, and we’re delighted to be able to give something back.”
