At the Pels Law Firm, we strongly believe in giving back to our community, whether that be through volunteering our time or through financial giving. These are just a few examples of causes we support.
Andy Talley Bone Marrow Foundation
Pels Law is a proud donor to the Andy Talley Bone Marrow Foundation. Jon Pels played Football at Villanova for Coach Talley in the late 1980s. Andy Talley started this foundation upon learning that bone marrow matches for transplants were very difficult to obtain and asked his football players to volunteer. What started as a match project at Villanova has spread across the country to many collegiate programs and has helped save many lives.
