Anapol Schwartz Foundation Lets Consumers Select Which Charities Receive Funding

* The Burn Foundation. A grant, from part of the firm’s fees in an unsafe products case involving catastrophic burns to a young child, is creating a family mentorship program for burn survivors at this non-profit.
* Caren Sydnor Locomotor Training Fund-Magee Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation. Financial assistance is supporting a fund, started by Anapol Schwartz client and spinal cord injury patient Caren Sydnor, which provides much-needed locomotor training to other spinal cord injury patients when insurance runs out. The fund also offers equipment to optimize therapy time and help these patients walk.
* Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition. An award, made in the name of a client, is supporting Philadelphia high school special-needs graduates who are continuing on to higher learning.
* The Mayor’s Commission on People with Disabilities. After providing restitution to a legally blind woman/prison worker whose leg was impaled-and ultimately amputated-due to a hazardous tree that PennDOT and its contractors failed to remove, Anapol Schwartz contributed part of its fees to scholarships for people with disabilities.
