Community Commitment
Founding Philosophy
Our partners and staff have a long-standing responsibility of giving back to our communities. Stanley Bober, our founding partner, started the firm with the belief that community is our priority, which has continued across our leadership and remains one of our core values.
“The most significant investment we make is in our community.”
– Rick Fedorovich, Executive Chairman
Giving Back
Our community commitment takes many forms, including charitable contributions, volunteerism, and civic leadership.
Our investment of time, talent, and treasure serves more than 70 local and national organizations. Our professionals serve on boards and committees across Northeast Ohio. You can find our team reading to elementary school students, coaching youth sports teams, volunteering at community welfare organizations, advocating for mental health and wellness groups and speaking out for the needs of a strong workforce.
Below is a representative list of a few organizations that have benefited from our commitment to community service. Many of these agencies are under the executive leadership of our personnel.
