Over the course of several weeks, the Professional Women’s Group collected new and gently used children’s books firm-wide in an effort to ensure that every student at Phoenix Day received age-appropriate books to take home. The donation was the culmination of the group’s participation in the United Way Women’s Leadership Council’s Million Minutes Reading Challenge.

Committed to making a difference in the life of a child by sharing the joy of reading and helping children succeed in school and life, 18 Gallagher & Kennedy women professionals formed a Million Minutes Team titled “Right to Read.” Since September of 2013, Team Right to Read has volunteered more than 7,300 minutes reading to Arizona’s youth.

Established in 1978, Gallagher & Kennedy is an Arizona-based law firm with nearly 100 attorneys in offices in Phoenix and Santa Fe; the Phoenix office is located a 2575 E. Camelback Road, #1100.
