About the 2009 Event: 

Jacksonville's Legal Community Joins

Hands This Holiday Season with Annual 

Merry Charity Event

One Event. Two Firms. Three Causes:  The Law Office of Maggie Jo Hilliard, P.A. and Camerlengo & Brockwell, P.A. join hands this holiday season to host a gift and needs drive benefiting three local charities.  The law firms will kick off the Merry Charity Holiday Event on Wednesday December 2^nd and celebrate with a not-to-be-missed holiday celebration on December 16^th.

Merry Charity is a holiday event that brings the entire legal community together to give back to local charities and entities.  The Law Office of Maggie Jo Hilliard, P.A. and Camerlengo & Brockwell, P.A., a beach firm and a downtown firm respectively, united forces this year to continue and grow Merry Charity’s impact on the community.

Merry Charity will benefit The Sanctuary on 8^th Street, Sulzbacher Center and Guardian Ad Litem.  One Ocean Resort and Bailey Publishing have joined on with the law firms this year to make the event one not-to-miss for attorneys and an event not-to-forget for the benefiting entities.  Merry Charity’s drive consists of a variety of needs and wishes, ranging from construction paper to used bikes to infant essentials.   Teams will be formed to help maximize the giving but individual donations are welcomed at all levels.

The firms will host a kick-off event on December 2, 2009 from 6-8pm at Camerlengo & Brockwell, located at 644 Cesery Boulevard.  The kick-off event will provide details about the holiday drive, its needs and fire up the competition.  On December 16^th, the legal community will gather at One Ocean Resort to honor the donation efforts, to announce the Merry Charity winners, and to celebrate with fellow colleagues.  Ugly Christmas Sweater Attire is encouraged and will be rewarded at the Merry Charity Holiday Social.
