Playing an active role in our community
As a law firm, we believe it is important to be active in our local community. Here are some examples of our recent activities:
4th Annual Christmas for the Troops
Pulley, Watson, King & Lischer, P.A. adopted two units for the 4th Annual Christmas Charity Event: an Army Company, the 65th MP Company (Airborne)
from Fort Bragg, deployed in Iraq, and a Marine Special Forces Company, part of the 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion from Camp Lejeune, deployed
in Afghanistan. Record monetary donations were collected to send a variety of items to the two units in time for the holidays. Any extra donations
will go the the Durham VA Medical Center.
Donors were invited to a stocking stuffing party at the firm on December 4th. Eight Marines from the 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion from Camp
Lejenue, along with over 40 guests showed up to help prepare a variety of essentials assembled in 260 stockings that shipped the next day to Iraq and
Afghanistan.
THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY DONOR AND PARTICIPANT FOR MAKING THIS OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL CHRISTMAS FOR THE TROOPS YET!
