6th Annual Combined Campaign Cup

The 6th Annual Golf and Tennis tournament to benefit the Combined Campaign for Justice held on July 16, 2018 at the DuPont Country Club was another tremendous success!  Thanks to the more than 200 golfers, tennis players, sponsors and volunteers, over $40,000 was raised to benefit Delaware's three legal services organizations: Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. (CLASI), Delaware Volunteer Legal Services, Inc. (DVLS), and Legal Services Corporation of Delaware, Inc. (LSCD). These organizations provide legal services to those in need who cannot afford to hire an attorney. The Yeager Law Firm LLC participated in the golf tournament as a Birdie Sponsor. Julie H. Yeager, Esquire volunteers as a chair on the committee that organizes the annual event.

Wilmington Blue Rocks Family Section: Fun, Family and Baseball

Since 2012, The Yeager Law Firm LLC has been the proud sponsor of the Wilmington Blue Rocks Family Section.  Baseball has been nicknamed "America's Pastime" but it means so much more.  Going to a baseball can be a relaxing way to spend an evening with friends and family.  There are moments of excitement on the field but also plenty of time to sit back and connect with those around you. 

It is also more than a night out of the house.  The fans and players become members of a shared community when they enter the stadium.  The players want to win the game for the fans and to play well to progress their careers. As fans, we want a win in the moment, but also for the players to succeed individually and make it to the big leagues, even knowing that means they will leave our team and town. 

Why are we as fans so invested?  We receive nothing of monetary value in return if a minor league player signs a multi-million dollar contract.   But there is a sense pride and accomplishment that comes from being part of a ball player's journey.  It reminds me of the parent-child relationship, where a a parent will invest in his or her child's hopes and dreams and cheer them on along the way, even if it means the child will leave their home, their hometown, and possibly even their country. So long as the child is happy in his or her success, so too is the parent.  A truly selfless act.

5th Annual Combined Campaign Cup

The 5th Annual Golf and Tennis tournament to benefit the Combined Campaign for Justice held on July 17, 2017 at the DuPont Country Club was a tremendous success!  Thanks to the more than 200 golfers, tennis players, sponsors and volunteers, over $38,000 (after expenses) was raised to benefit Delaware's three legal services organizations: Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. (CLASI), Delaware Volunteer Legal Services, Inc. (DVLS), and Legal Services Corporation of Delaware, Inc. (LSCD). These organizations provide legal services to those in need who cannot afford to hire an attorney. The Yeager Law Firm, LLC participated in both the golf and tennis tournaments as a Birdie Sponsor. Julie H. Yeager, Esquire volunteers as a chair on the committee that organizes the annual event.

Combined Campaign for Justice Charity Tournament

The 4th Annual Golf and Tennis tournament to benefit the Combined Campaign for Justice held on July 18, 2016 at DuPont Country Club was a tremendous success!  Thanks to the more than 200 golfers, tennis players, sponsors and volunteers, over $36,000 (after expenses) was raised to benefit Delaware's three legal services organization: Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. (CLASI), Delaware Volunteer Legal Services, Inc. (DVLS), and Legal Services Corporation of Delaware, Inc. (LSCD). These organizations provide legal services to those who cannot afford to hire an attorney. They help parents and their children obtain protection from abuse orders from dangerous individuals, families facing wrongful evictions or foreclosures remain in their homes, and elderly people who have been taken advantage of by unscrupulous lenders recover their losses to name a few of their services.

Race Results for the 2016 Delaware Charity Challenge

It may have been a chilly morning on Saturday, April 30, but that didn’t stop 19 teams, representing 18 different charities, from heading to Brandywine Creek State Park to participate in the Second Annual Delaware Charity Challenge. The challenge raised more than $24,000 in donations and was a fun event for all who participated in the 5K or Adventure Relay.


Congratulations to Yeager Law Firm team member, Malcolm Hughes, for finishing in 1st place overall! The Co-Ed team finished in 2nd place behind Faithful Friends and Men's team finished in 2nd place behind OperaDelaware.  

Our thanks to Innovincent, who put on a great event. As a reminder, you can still donate to Kind to Kids Foundation through the team fundraising page until May 31, 2016.

Supporting Kind to Kids Through the Delaware Charity Challenge

Spring is right around the corner and that means it is time to lace up our sneakers and pound the pavement for some worthy causes in the coming months.

Our first race is the Delaware Charity Challenge. The event will take place on Saturday, April 30, 2016 at Brandywine Creek State Park. Our team is proud to run the co-ed 5K to support the Kind to Kids Foundation.  

Kind to Kids provides education services and life experiences to the 700 vulnerable children living in foster care in the State of Delaware. Kind to Kids representatives recently dropped off toys and school supplies to a six year old girl who came into Delaware’s foster care system due to physical abuse. She looked up and quietly whispered, “Thank you for caring about me.”  

This inspiring organization is unique in that it accepts donations of tickets to local events, in addition to cash donations, to offer life experiences to foster children. Your donation may offer a child his or her first opportunity to see a play at The Playhouse, watch a show at The Grand, or enjoy a professional sporting event.

As a sponsor of the Family Section for the Wilmington Blue Rocks, the Yeager Law Firm receives the benefit of free tickets to several games throughout the year. It is our pleasure to help give children in our State foster care system the opportunity to cheer on our local baseball team by donating some of our tickets to Kind to Kids.

The Yeager Law Firm raised $410 for Big Brothers Big Sisters during last year’s Delaware Charity Challenge and we would love to beat that total this year. As a bonus (and a bit of a surprise!) we also won the women's 5k race.
