Chip Kalbaugh, Esq., President
Welcome 2016! KPM LAW celebrated the holidays with a team building event to benefit tuition-free Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School in Richmond. The school, alma mater to Shareholder and Partner Francie Belton Georges, provides kindergarten through fifth grade students a private, Christian-based education and is part of the church’s mission to serve Richmond-area families with limited resources.
Assembling the firm’s Richmond attorneys and staff just before Christmas, Georges led the team in exercises that required collaboration, creativity, and good sportsmanship, and ultimately resulted in the construction of six brand new bicycles that were donated to St. Andrew’s school physical education program. With KPM’s donation, the school has grown its bicycle fleet from 12 to 18… enough for an entire class to participate on two wheels and aid the school in it’s intent to teach every child – including those without the resources to own a bike or a safe place to ride one – to ride a bike.
Having built this firm one hand-picked attorney at a time over the last 25 years, we have had the opportunity to cultivate a group of people whom we respect not only for their professional strengths, but who we genuinely like. It’s exercises like this that remind me we’ve built a firm of more than good attorneys; These are good people, doing good things, and having a good time together. Wishing you all that and more in 2016.
