Mount Kisco, NY – (September 8, 2008) – The Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Westchester recently received a $25,000 donation from the Lee S. Kreindler Foundation. The Club was selected as the beneficiary for the foundation's annual Golf Tournament, held in June at the Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle, NY.

Justin Green, a partner at Kreindler & Kreindler LLP, is both a member of the Club's Board of Directors and a Club alumnus. Kreindler & Kreindler, the world's leading aviation law firm, represents aviation disaster victims and their families in federal and state courts throughout the United States. The firm was founded in 1950 by Harry Kreindler and his son, Lee, who passed away in 2003. The Lee S. Kreindler Foundation was created to further Lee's work and his devotion to helping those in need.

"We greatly appreciate the foundation's generous contribution to our organization," said Brian Skanes, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Westchester. "Kreindler & Kreindler has been a supporter of the Club's Humanitarian Awards Dinner for many years.
