Now Rumana has become a passionate and effective advocate to reduce violence against women. She is currently in the second year of law school at the Allard School of Law at UBC while raising her daughter as a single mother.

Supporting the Richmond Christmas Fund has become a holiday tradition at CFMR. For the fourth year, the firm has proudly championed the local charity’s efforts to help families in need over the Christmas season.  More than 20 lawyers and staff volunteered at the recent annual  drive-through drop-off, gathering toys and gifts for those in need.  The spirit of giving was palpable.

Among the volunteers was CFMR partner, Eric Schroter, a director of the Richmond Christmas Fund since 2013 and keen advocate for the work done by the organization.  Last year, the monies raised by him and his colleagues helped ensure that 800 kids received Christmas gifts and more than 2,000 families received grocery gift cards.

Combined with previous years, a total of $113,947 has been donated on behalf of the Jamie Booth Golf Classic to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice.

There was more than laughter around the CFMR table at the recent Comic Vision 2015 event in Vancouver.   As a regional sponsor of this national stand-up comedy fundraising tour, members of the firm recognize the seriousness behind the comedy.

Comic Vision is one of the signature fundraising events supporting the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Since starting in 1999, this event has contributed more than $7M to the foundation, funding research to find cures for vision loss and blindness currently affecting over one million Canadian children and adults.

Several CFMR members and their guests shared meaningful laughter at the event, while knowing the firm, and their presence, was supporting a very worthwhile cause.
