La Cava Jacobson & Goodis participated in the St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Foundation’s annual “Christmas in July” Donation Drive. This year the donation drive had a record-breaking year of over $215,000 raised through monetary and toy donations for St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital and St. Joseph’s Hospital-South’s Child Life Specialist teams. Christmas in July is a month-long community-wide fundraiser to help raise funds for activities, experiences, and toys for St. Joe’s Kids.

A cancer diagnosis, catastrophic injury, or other illness can quickly turn a child’s world upside down, replacing their carefree days with chemotherapy treatments, needle pricks, surgeries, and far too much time spent away from home. It’s a lot to deal with. But thanks to people just like you, our Christmas in July donation event helps bring a little Christmas magic to these kids all year long. Through fun activities and festive celebrations your support helps us provide a much-needed boost to distract them from their pain, discomfort, and feelings of isolation – and gives them hope to help them cope.

La Cava Jacobson & Goodis is a proud sponsor of St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Foundation, and looks forward to continuing to do their part to bring “comfort and joy” to these remarkable children in our community.

La Cava Jacobson & Goodis Miami office made a donation this holiday season to PATCHES PPEC. PATCHES PPEC takes care of medically complex children and their families. They deeply believe that every child deserves to live free of pain and be as healthy as they can be to grow and play. The name PATCHES stands for Pediatric Alternative Treatment, Care, Housing & Evaluation Services, Inc., while PPEC means
Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care.

La Cava Jacobson & Goodis is pleased to partner and support the outstanding and compassionate care PATCHES provides to children with complex medical conditions in the Miami-Dade area.

La Cava Jacobson & Goodis is happy to let our clients, friends and colleagues know that this year one of our charitable recipients was Toys-for-Tots.  We are keenly aware of the needs in our society, especially with the economic issues with which we have all been faced.  We recognize that we are extremely blessed, but there are countless others who are not in our position.

In lieu of fruitcakes, cheese baskets and the like, this year the Firm gave over 250 separate contributions to Toys-for-Tots.  Each donation was made in honor of an individual client, and each honoree received an email from Toys-for-Tots acknowledging the gift.  Over 250 children in the communities where our clients reside will now have holiday gifts, which they otherwise may not have received.

As you will see from the Firm’s other charitable work, an important focus of our giving is directed to children, most notably those in financial need and those in need of medical care that their families could not afford.  Thank you for being part of our extended family and playing a role in putting smiles on children’s faces in your communities.

La Cava Jacobson & Goodis sponsored the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office 26th Annual Charity Golf Tournament. Our foursome placed 2nd at this years event. Founded by the Florida Sheriff’s Association as a nonprofit, residential childcare agency in 1957, the Youth Ranches’ statewide network of care has served thousands of Florida’s needy and deserving children. All proceeds benefit the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches. The Foundation contributes to the success of youth boys and girls across the state by providing educational, leadership, and life skill programs.
