Fox Rothschild

Building on a tradition of giving back to the communities where its attorneys and staff live and work, Fox Rothschild has launched FoxCares, a nationwide series of charity drives that will benefit a different cause every month in the summer of 2017.

The drives will support three nationwide nonprofits:

• June: Feeding America
• July: Big Brothers Big Sisters of America
• August: Pets for Vets

In each of the monthly drives, attorneys and staff will have the opportunity to donate items and raise funds and awareness for each organization.

“Community engagement is a core value at Fox. The idea of giving back is ingrained in our firm culture,” said Mark L. Morris, the firm’s managing partner. “Throughout the year, attorneys and staff in each of our offices participate in countless acts of community service, and that will continue.

“The FoxCares program will harness that energy to make an even stronger impact for these three inspiring and deserving organizations.”

Under this intersection improvement project, PennDOT will:

• remove right turn lanes on Newark Road to improve safety
• upgrade the existing traffic signal
