Working together to make a difference in more than just the law

Community service opportunities

The attorneys and staff at Budd Bay Law, P.S. firmly believe in giving back to our community.  Throughout the year, we participate in community service projects and volunteer our time to different organizations.  From local sports groups and non-profits to nationwide charities we try to make a difference as much as we can.

In 2018, Rodgers Kee Card & Strophy, P.S. teamed up with the City of Tumwater’s Adopt-a-Road Program.  On a quarterly basis, we close the office early to clean up our adopted road (Tumwater Boulevard).  We believe it is important to work with our staff on volunteer projects outside of the office to encourage comradery and goodwill.

Every year the firm also adopts a large family through the Salvation Army’s Adopt-a-Family program.  Families are only eligible once for this program so it is our goal to make it their best Christmas ever.  The firm gives each employee a budget and they draw names for the family member they will shop for.  The staff member who was closest to the budget wins a gift card.  Wrapping all of the presents and delivering them to the Salvation Army takes an entire day of work for our interns.  The employees always enjoy sharing with each other what they purchased for their family member and the deals they scored.  Helping our staff in giving back is important to the shareholders of Rodgers Kee Card & Strophy, P.S.

Shareholders Megan D. Card and Paul Strophy both grew up in Olympia and attended Black Hills High School and Capital High School, respectively.  Being able to contribute to the community that raised them is a nod to their success as lawyers.  Shareholder Scott Kee has made Tumwater his home for his children and enjoys volunteering with the Tumwater School District.

It is imperative to the shareholders that our staff and attorneys continue to give back locally.  Below are the different groups we have supported throughout the years through volunteer work or donations:
