Paul Greenberg and Gavin Pearlman Spread Holiday Cheer at WGN’s Annual Toy Drive
The holiday season has a way of bringing people together around what matters most: kindness, generosity, and community. This morning, Briskman Law’s Paul Greenberg and Gavin Pearlman were proud to take part in one of Chicago’s most meaningful traditions, the annual WGN drive-thru Toy Drive. With a car packed full of toys, they joined countless other donors in helping make the holidays brighter for children and families across the Chicagoland area.
For decades, the WGN Toy Drive has been a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose. As Paul and Gavin pulled up to the drive-thru, they were warmly greeted by WGN’s Mike Toomey, who has been on site all morning thanking donors and helping spread the holiday spirit. The moment captured what this season is all about: neighbors helping neighbors and giving where it counts.
At Briskman Law Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers, giving back to the community is not just a seasonal gesture. It is part of who we are. For more than 40 years, our firm has been deeply rooted in Chicago, serving injured Chicagoans and standing up for individuals and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Beyond our legal work, our personal injury lawyers are committed to supporting the community through scholarships, charitable initiatives, and partnerships that make a real difference.
Participating in the WGN Toy Drive is especially meaningful during a time when so many families are facing rising costs and financial pressure. As was discussed during the broadcast, everyday necessities like food and household items have become more expensive, making it harder for parents to balance putting food on the table with creating a joyful holiday experience for their children. A single toy might seem small, but to a child, it can mean excitement, comfort, and a reminder that they are cared for.
That is why events like the WGN Toy Drive matter so much. Each donated toy represents hope and generosity, and together they create moments of happiness that children will remember long after the holidays have passed. Knowing that our contribution may help bring a smile to a child’s face is incredibly rewarding and truly warms our hearts.
We are grateful to WGN, Mike Toomey, and everyone involved for organizing and continuing this wonderful tradition year after year. Their efforts ensure that donated toys reach the families who need them most, and they provide an easy and welcoming way for the community to get involved. We are also thankful to the many individuals and organizations who participated alongside us, showing once again that Chicago is a city defined by compassion and generosity.
As the year comes to a close, moments like this remind us why community matters. Whether it is advocating for our clients, supporting local causes, or participating in events like the WGN Toy Drive, our goal remains the same: to help people and to give back to the city that has given us so much.
From all of us here at Briskman Law, we wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday season filled with warmth, peace, and joy. May the spirit of giving continue into the new year, and may we all find ways, big or small, to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
