FMBK Partner, Bob Brandt CFLS*, and his
beautiful wife, Lynn, were Co-Chairs of Levitt & Quinn's Tory Burch event, which
raised more than $2000 for Levitt
& Quinn Family Law Center. The event, which included shopping and cocktails, took
place on Sunday, October 30, 2011, at the Tory Burch store in the Malibu Lumberyard. 20%
of all sales benefitted Levitt & Quinn. This is the fourth time designer, Tory Burch,
has opened up her boutique to Levitt & Quinn and its supporters.
The money raised will help Levitt & Quinn continue to
provide affordable legal representation in family law matters to low-income families of
Los Angeles County to ensure stability for children and their families in the face of
legal difficulties.
"Levitt & Quinn is very grateful to Bob & Lynn
and the Host Committee. The Brandts, and the firm (FMBK), have been long-time and generous
supporters of Levitt & Quinn. We are grateful for their support and friendship,"
said Matthew Lynch, Levitt & Quinn's Development Director. |
