Philadelphia, PA

Flaster Greenberg, a full-service commercial business law firm, has been selected to receive the 2015 Community Partner Award from the Sister Cities Girlchoir (SCG). The firm will be honored at SCG's Third Annual Family & Friends Concert on Saturday, May 16th from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. at the River Stage at The Great Plaza on Penn's Landing.

The Community Partner Award is given to organizations and/or individuals that work to empower young women or support the arts. As an active participant in Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, Flaster Greenberg has supported SCG by helping it to incorporate and file for IRS requirements of its 501(c)(3) non-profit tax status , which will enable and allow SCG to work with and empower more girls in Philadelphia and Camden counties, both of which Flaster Greenberg has office locations.

With support from Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, The Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy and the Delaware River Waterfront, the girls of SCG invite music lovers from all over the Greater Philadelphia area to rock out with a purpose. The choirs, comprised of girls from West Philadelphia, Kensington and Camden, perform an energetic musical program that dives into the roots of rock n' roll, gospel, jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. General admission for the concert is free. If you are interested in sponsoring this event, please click here

SCG empowers at-risk girls by building resilience, leadership, mastery and connection through a comprehensive choral training academy that invests in the unique potential of adolescent girls to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty and transform their communities. The program is research-based, and although a music program is an uncommon poverty intervention, SCG is modeled on the powerful impact that investments in the lives of at-risk girls make for a city block, a neighborhood, a city....for the world.
