Fishman Haygood Team Gives Back for the Holidays, Supports Annual CANO Toy Drive

During this season of giving, Fishman Haygood attorneys and staff came together to raise funds for the Community Academies of New Orleans (CANO) annual holiday toy drive. CANO accepts donations to ensure that each of its students receives a gift, relieving some of the pressures facing families amidst the demands of the season. CANO, a nonprofit charter school management organization, works to strengthen its schools while maintaining their unique cultures and communities. Learn more about CANO here.

All donations made by personnel were matched by the firm. Between the Fishman Haygood team’s generous donations and the firm’s matching gift, this year alone nearly $9,500 went towards providing gifts for Foundation Preparatory Academy and Esperanza Academy students.

The Fishman Haygood team especially looks forward to supporting the community during the holidays. Participation in CANO’s toy drive is made even more special as Margo Phelps, wife of Esmond Phelps, is a board member. Mr. Phelps serves as counsel to the firm and was among its original founders when Correro Fishman Haygood Phelps Weiss Walmsley & Casteix was formed in 1996.

Throughout the year, Fishman Haygood attorneys also lend their knowledge to causes, as well as to supporting local and national organizations. Click here to learn more about our work in the community.
