WILLOUGHBY, Ohio—Criminal Defense Attorney Matthew C.

The nonprofit organization’s mission is to ensure that Lake County students have access to school supplies and scholarships to support their education.

Fortress Law Group, LLC sponsored a Happy Hour Kick-Off for The Backpack Fund’s July donation drive to increase awareness and raise money to purchase school supplies and backpacks for students ahead of the 2022-2023 school year. Consequently, the organization donated 500 backpacks filled with supplies to needy students.
