Earlier this fall, the Allen & Allen team laced up their sneakers to take part in the 27th annual Move With MADD fundraiser in Henrico, VA. We were proud to stand alongside Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in their mission to make Virginia’s roads safer for everyone.
Our commitment to road safety doesn’t stop there. This year, we’ve expanded our Sober Ride Home program to include even more holidays, because we want to help Virginians celebrate the holidays safely.
The next holiday for our Sober Ride Home program? Thanksgiving Eve, one of the busiest nights on the road. Let’s work together to make it a safe one.
A favorite part of Legal Week is our annual Marcella Murray Award! Team members from Allen & Allen offices across Virginia gathered to celebrate this special evening and honor one of our own.
The award is named in memory of Marcella Murray, a beloved legal assistant whose integrity, exceptional service, and unwavering commitment to clients left a lasting mark on our firm. Each year, this award recognizes a team member who carries on that legacy. This year’s winner, Jessica Joyce, does just that.
Jessica is known for her positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to go above and beyond for both her colleagues and clients. She’s the kind of teammate who steps up wherever she’s needed, no matter how full her plate may be. Her clients describe her as truly one of a kind, and we couldn’t agree more. In recognition of her dedication, Jessica was presented with a $1,000 award by Allen & Allen’s President Jason Konvicka.
Attorney David Irvine presented a $1,000 check to International Neighbors on behalf of Allen & Allen Cares Program. Kari Miller, a 2016 Hometown Hero, began supporting
refugee students as a teacher in Charlottesville City and has continued to make a lasting impact in the community through her work with International Neighbors, a refugee assistance organization she founded in November 2015.
From providing transportation to medical appointments to helping families navigate language barriers and employment assistance, Kari and her team of volunteers are committed to creating a pathway to thriving for refugees and immigrants in the community. Honoring Hometown Heroes like Kari is what drives Allen & Allen Cares. These hero are changing lives every day by making Virginia a better place to live, work, and play.
This November, Allen & Allen team was honored to host the Garden of Hope at Blood Cancer United’s Light the Night event. This powerful and inspiring gathering brings together survivors, supporters, and families affected by blood cancer to honor loved ones and shine a collective light of hope and remembrance. We were grateful for the opportunity to sponsor a booth and take part in the walk, joining others in support of those whose lives have been touched by blood cancer. The evening was filled with stories of strength, moments of reflection, and a shared sense of community.
