These events represent a strategic approach to community engagement, leveraging the firm's professional network to support vital social services.
The Salvation Army's local impact is significant, providing crucial support to Livingston County residents through various programs.

Event pricing offers flexibility for potential participants, with options including a combined gala and golf ticket for $175, individual gala tickets for $100, and golf-only tickets for $125. Special pricing is also available for ARMOR employees, with gala tickets priced at $50.
By hosting these events, The Patent Baron PLLC highlights the importance of corporate social responsibility and community investment. The fundraiser underscores how professional organizations can leverage their resources and networks to support local nonprofit initiatives that address critical social needs.
Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy a formal gala with cocktails, dinner, and an auction, as well as a golf outing featuring a four-person scramble format. All proceeds will directly support The Salvation Army's local community programs, emphasizing the direct impact of community participation.
