(USGovernment-News.Com, October 01, 2014 ) New Orleans, Louisiana -- The United Negro College Fund (UNCF) is currently making rounds throughout major cities in the United States for its Annual 5k Walk for Education.
For the city of New Orleans, it will be held on October 11, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. and will take place behind the Audubon Park & Zoo. This will be the 27th year that the 5k has been set up in New Orleans, and this time, at least twenty-eight associates of local personal injury attorney Morris Bart will be showing their support for UNCF by participating as a team on the pavement, as well as being a corporate sponsor. In addition, they will be sponsoring one of the water stations along the course for the third time.
As a large team of lawyers that assist injured victims each day, this is certainly not the first time that Morris Bart’s team has shown that they care. Besides their long list of endeavors at work, Mr. Bart and his associates have also been known to contribute to such causes as the American Red Cross, the Special Olympics, and the United Way Campaign, to name a few.
Schooling has played a huge role in the success of Mr. Bart’s own career, which has allowed him to understand first-hand how important education really is. He strives to pass this enthusiasm for learning onto the rest of the community. In 2003, he dedicated $80,000 to his alma mater, Loyola University. The following year, he provided $10,000 to the seniors of Fortier High School for necessities such as caps and gowns and testing fees.
By participating in the UNCF’s Walk for Education, the supporting patrons at Morris Bart’s firm are softening the financial burden that often comes with college. More scholarships are able to be provided, and education is made more accessible. Beneficiaries include Xavier University and Dillard University. Those that would like to donate to this cause or participate in the walk may visit the UNCF’s website, where donations are still being accepted.
