Blank Rome's finalist profile, as published in the Los Angeles Business Journal, is copied below.
The AAC was founded in 1999 by Stacy D. Phillips and her former law firm, Phillips Lerner, to support and raise the public profile of Los Angeles-based nonprofit organizations helping underserved children and families. When Phillips joined Blank Rome in 2016, firm leadership and colleagues embraced the program, and it became Blank Rome’s Adopt-A-Center Program. With a one-year hiatus in 2020 due to COVID, this year marks the 25th anniversary of AAC.
The goal is to use the resources of AAC, its advisory board members, and Blank Rome to expose the nonprofit’s members to new experiences, help the organization raise its profile in the community, and make valuable connections.
