A Ridgefield lawyer’s Danbury firm pledged $100 for every Danbury Whaler goal scored during January and February to two local non-profit organizations. Now it’s time to ante up.
The Whalers scored 42 goals and on Friday, March 21, checks will be presented to Family & Children’s Aid and Housatonic Habitat for Humanity.
At half time, Ventura, Ribeiro & Smith’s CEO Agostinho Ribeiro of Ridgefield will take center ice to present a check for the 27 goals scored during the month of January. The check will be given to Nick Hoffman, development director of Family and Children’s Aid. Habitat’s Derek Roy, a board member and chairman of the organization’s strategic planning committee, will accept a second check for the 15 goals scored in February.
Attorney Ribeiro said, “To provide compassion and to help all families strive for a better life is the charitable purpose that our firm has had for more than 55 years.” Both of these charities are steadfast in their commitment to this purpose and to our Greater Danbury community. We are proud to support their mission and projects. We encourage the community to connect with their spirit and support them either through donations of time or funds.
Ventura, Ribeiro & Smith has offices in Danbury, Bridgeport, Hartford and Norwalk, and New York City.
