Check out these awesome non-profits our clients supported last month by choosing to do business with My Pink Lawyer (we donate charitable gift cards to Global Giving to clients who then get to choose the charities they want to support & we donate a portion of all proceeds to charity): Autism Pensacola, Help Protect our Planet's Coral Reefs & Feeding Kenya's homeless children.

Difficult (& expensive) to prove these things, though.
