SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & WEIL FOUNDATION: YEAR IN REVIEW 2025 VOLUNTEERISM AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 57 56 Halloween Candy Drive, Miami The Miami office partnered with the Little Rascals Foundation to sponsor a candy drive for students at West Homestead K-8 Center, an under-resourced school. Donations enabled the organization to provide candy, bags and costumes, ensuring students could fully participate in holiday celebrations. Building Bat Boxes with Quogue Wildlife Refuge, New York This past September, the Social Responsibility team partnered with the Quogue Wildlife Refuge (QWR) to facilitate a meaningful volunteer experience during the Banking & Finance Practice Group Retreat in Montauk, NY. Attorneys learned about QWR’s conservation mission and the critical role bats play in local ecosystems - especially as natural pest control for nearby farms and vineyards, reducing reliance on harmful pesticides. Following the educational session, attorneys took part in a hands-on project assembling bat boxes, which provide safe nesting habitats and support population health. The completed bat boxes were then donated to local farms and vineyards, helping promote sustainable agricultural practices.
