As we look back on 2025, Foley & Lardner proudly reflects on another year of meaningful impact through our national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). As the first and only law firm to partner with BGCA on a national scale, Foley supports the organization's youth leadership development strategy through programs and initiatives that open doors for the next generation to thrive.
Foley's commitment spans every community where we practice. All of the firm's 24 U.S. offices — including our Mexico City office in partnership with Pro Niños de la Calle — have engaged with local Clubs to deliver initiatives that foster leadership, skill-building, advocacy, and community engagement. Since launching this partnership in 2021, Foley has organized more than 550 local events and has contributed over 9,000 volunteer hours to support Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide.
In 2025, many Foley attorneys deepened this commitment by joining local Boys & Girls Club boards of directors, lending their expertise and leadership to strengthen community ties. We celebrate these attorneys for going above and beyond in support of our national partnership:
- Daljit Doogal (Detroit) – BGCA Midwest Trustee
- Linda Benfield (Milwaukee) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee
- Richard Guyer (Jacksonville) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida
- Irina Kashcheyeva (Detroit) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan Committee Member
- Brian Lucareli (Milwaukee) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee Investment Sub-Committee Member
- Frank Pasquesi (Chicago) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago
- Gus Resendiz (Boston) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Lawrence
- Jai Singh (San Diego) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego
- Blake Tengberg (Salt Lake City) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake
The Foley/BGCA partnership continues to grow because of the commitment and passion of our people. We are proud of the time, expertise, and financial investments our Foley family contributes to support Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide. Together, we are helping create opportunities and strengthen communities across the country.
