Co-founding Partner Keith More has generously donated $100,000 to set up an endowment scholarship fund at his alma mater DePaul University College of Law. The endowed fund is named “Keith and Paige More Breasties Endowed Scholarship” – and will serve to provide recognition and financial assistance to students enrolled in the College of Law, who have good academic standing and financial need, with a preference given to students who have been impacted, either directly or indirectly, by breast or ovarian cancer. Mr. More’s daughter, Paige More, underwent a preventive double mastectomy after testing positive for the BRCA1 gene that is known to cause cancer. Ms. More has since become an advocate and founded a nonprofit organization, The Breasties, which is dedicated to supporting young women affected by breast and ovarian cancer. By setting up this endowment, Mr. More is honoring his daughter’s ongoing fight with breast and ovarian cancer as well as honoring his mother Cookie’s legacy. Mr. More, a proud alumnus of the College of Law, is grateful for all the opportunities afforded to him and wishes to help future students.
