Carson Law and BOSL Donates to Burlington Food Bank

Carson Law continues to be a big supporter of local area causes and on Saturday July 28, 2018, our founder Ryan Carson was given the opportunity to combine his passion for baseball with fundraising for a worthwhile and important community charity.

The Burlington Oldtimers Slow-Pitch League (BOSL) held it's annual Golf Day in support of the Burlington Food Bank.  Ryan has been an active participant, team captain, and vocal proponent of BOSL for a number of seasons, and this year has been no different.

Through sponsorships and mini-contests associated with the golf-day along with a mid-season baseball tournament, BOSL was able to raise $3650 for the Burlington Food Bank.  Ryan then went ahead and donated $1000 on his own to bring the grand total up to $4650 for the day.

All in all, the weather was amazing and everyone had a great time while doing something good for the community.  Ryan was also the main focus for one of the day's contests called "beat the lawyer".

On one of the par-3 holes, golfers had to try to get their tee-shot closer to the pin than a cut out of Ryan that was placed on the green.  Successful contestants were awarded with prizes provided by Carson Law.  We're not sure how many people actually aimed at Ryan's photo instead of the hole, but it looks like it returned in good enough shape to be signed and hung in a hall of fame (somewhere).

Great job to everyone involved in supporting the event and raising funds for such an important local charity!

Carson Law named the Official Law Partner of the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre and Oakville Rock lacrosse team

Carson Law is very excited to announce that we have become the Official Law Partner of the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre (TRAC) as well as the Oakville Rock lacrosse team.

The TRAC is a beautiful 80,000 square foot, climate-controlled sports facility and event centre located on Invicta Drive in Oakville, Ontario.  Though the facility was primarily designed for use as the National Lacrosse League (NLL) Toronto Rock's practice facility, it also accommodates many other sports such as ball-hockey, rugby, football, soccer, and baseball.  The TRAC is responsible for running popular youth lacrosse development camps and leagues.

The Oakville Rock is a men's Senior "A" box lacrosse team that plays in the 6-team Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) league within the Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA).  This is one of the highest levels of lacrosse available in Ontario, second only to the NLL, as most of the players in the league currently play or have played at the professional level. The Oakville Rock's 2017 season is currently underway.  Contact us to see how you could obtain a complimentary season's pass for home games.

Lacrosse is becoming a popular sport in the Golden Horseshoe area and Carson Law is proud to be supporting its growth at the grassroots level.
