Join us in celebrating the birthdays of John Harrity and Paul Harrity, founders of Harrity & Harrity, LLP! Their leadership, dedication, and vision have been pivotal in building our firm and fostering an inclusive IP community. In honor of their special day, we invite you to support two charities near and dear to the Harrity brothers. In May 2016, John Harrity suffered a near fatal “widow-maker” heart attack. After spending 3 weeks in a coma and 5 more in a grueling recovery in the ICU, and despite 1,000,000-to-1 odds, John fortunately survived. We are proud supporters of the American Heart Association, an organization focused on advancing cardiovascular health through groundbreaking research, community programs, and education. The AHA is leading the fight against heart disease and stroke, striving to improve and save lives like John's. You can make a donation in honor of John at https://ow.ly/A3X550TUJgZ. Inova Children's Foundation allows families of pediatric patients to focus on their child’s health rather than financial worries. Inova Chidren's state-of-the-art facility provides exceptional care to infants, children, and adolescents across a range of medical specialties. Your donation will benefit these families directly, offering assistance with essentials like child care, medical bills, prescriptions, household expenses, and travel costs. Join Paul Harrity supporting this impactful mission here: https://lnkd.in/eJjPJvy. Happy Birthday, Paul & John! What better way to celebrate than to #Give2Give? #HarrityLLP #AmericanHeartAssociation #InovaChildrensHospital #GivingBack #Give2Give #Harrity4Charity
