Community Service

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.

La Cava Jacobson & Goodis was a sponsor for this year’s St Joseph’s Hospital Foundation’s Heroes Ball. April and Lou La Cava attended the event on behalf of the firm, along with Tom and Jane Saieva, Dr. Ben and Flor Mendoza and Dr. William and Toni Blackshear. The entire table participated in the silent auction and made donations which supported the Howard and Deanna Bayless Children’s Cancer Institute. Thaddeus Bullard aka WWE’s Titus O’Neil was the community hero recognizing his philanthropy and to all he does for the children of Tampa Bay. Over one million dollars was raised at the event which will help treat and cure childhood cancer.
