Events & Presentations

The Montgomery County special education law firm of Frankel & Kershenbaum sponsored and participated in Walk Now for Autism Speaks on Sept. 24, 2011, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Walk Now for Autism Speaks is the signature fundraising event for Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest autism science and advocacy organization. Each year Walk Now for Autism Speaks brings together hundreds of thousands of participants across the United States and Canada, with a common goal of supporting vital autism research. In 2010, the Frankel & Kershenbaum Walk Now team exceeded its fundraising goal and was recognized as a Top Team. This year the firm raised even more for this worthy cause. Frankel & Kershenbaum founding members, Dave Frankel and Josh Kershenbaum, encouraged friends and family to join the Frankel & Kershenbaum Walk Now team.

Frankel & Kershenbaum is proud to participate in Autism Speaks’ fundraising efforts.”
