Foley Attorneys Deepen Boys & Girls Clubs of America Partnership

As we look back on 2025, Foley & Lardner proudly reflects on another year of meaningful impact through our national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). As the first and only law firm to partner with BGCA on a national scale, Foley supports the organization’s youth leadership development strategy through programs and initiatives that open doors for the next generation to thrive.

Foley’s commitment spans every community where we practice. All of the firm’s 24 U.S. offices — including our Mexico City office in partnership with Pro Niños de la Calle — have engaged with local Clubs to deliver initiatives that foster leadership, skill-building, advocacy, and community engagement. Since launching this partnership in 2021, Foley has organized more than 550 local events and has contributed over 9,000 volunteer hours to support Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide.

In 2025, many Foley attorneys deepened this commitment by joining local Boys & Girls Club boards of directors, lending their expertise and leadership to strengthen community ties. We celebrate these attorneys for going above and beyond in support of our national partnership:

Daljit Doogal (Detroit) – BGCA Midwest Trustee
Linda Benfield (Milwaukee) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee
Richard Guyer (Jacksonville) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida
Irina Kashcheyeva (Detroit) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan Committee Member
Brian Lucareli (Milwaukee) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee Investment Sub-Committee Member
Frank Pasquesi (Chicago) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago
Gus Resendiz (Boston) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Lawrence
Jai Singh (San Diego) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego
Blake Tengberg (Salt Lake City) – Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake

The Foley/BGCA partnership continues to grow because of the commitment and passion of our people. We are proud of the time, expertise, and financial investments our Foley family contributes to support Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide. Together, we are helping create opportunities and strengthen communities across the country.
