Berger and Green Supports United Way Match Madness

Supporting United Way Match Madness Campaign

Community support is most powerful when it brings people together around a shared purpose. This March, Berger and Green is proud to once again stand alongside the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley in support of its annual Match Madness campaign, a fundraising initiative designed to amplify charitable giving and expand the reach of vital local programs.

As part of this year’s campaign, Berger and Green has committed $15,000 in matching donations. Every dollar contributed throughout the month will be matched dollar-for-dollar, effectively doubling the impact of each gift. This effort directly benefits more than 30 programs that provide essential services to families across Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel, Tyler, and Belmont counties.

For Berger and Green, this initiative is more than a financial contribution. It reflects a long-standing commitment to the communities the firm serves. For over four decades, the firm has worked closely with individuals and families in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, helping clients navigate the complexities of Social Security disability claims. Through this work, the firm has developed deep connections within the Upper Ohio Valley and a clear understanding of the challenges many families face.

Amanda Bonnesen, Managing Partner at Berger and Green, emphasized the importance of giving back to the region. She noted that the firm’s work extends beyond legal representation, highlighting a shared responsibility to uplift and strengthen the community. Supporting the Match Madness campaign is one way the firm continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local residents.

This year’s United Way campaign theme, “Building Bridges. Connecting Communities.”, underscores the importance of collaboration and unity. The Match Madness initiative exemplifies this mission by encouraging individuals, businesses, and organizations to come together in support of programs that address critical needs such as education, financial stability, and health.

By participating in Match Madness, donors have a unique opportunity to maximize their contributions. A single donation goes twice as far, enabling United Way partner programs to expand their services and reach more individuals in need. From providing food assistance and childcare support to offering job training and crisis intervention, these programs play a crucial role in strengthening the fabric of the community.

Berger and Green’s continued involvement in this campaign highlights the firm’s broader commitment to service. Beyond the courtroom, the firm remains dedicated to initiatives that foster stability, opportunity, and hope for families throughout the region.

Community members who wish to participate in the Match Madness campaign can make a donation online here or by mail. Every contribution, regardless of size, helps create lasting change and ensures that essential resources remain available to those who need them most.

Through partnerships like this, Berger and Green and the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley demonstrate what is possible when organizations unite around a common goal. Together, they are building stronger communities, creating meaningful connections, and making a lasting impact across the Upper Ohio Valley.
