FP Cares

FP Cares is a not for profit 501(c)(3) that was formed to support the community involvement and charitable activities of Fisher Phillips employees. FP Cares is governed by the FP Cares Committee, and liaisons in each of the firm’s 36 offices have been identified to implement programming throughout the year.

FP Cares has chosen to focus the firm’s community involvement and charitable giving on children for the foreseeable future, partnering with CureSearch for Children’s Cancer, whose mission is to end childhood cancer by driving targeted and innovative research with measurable results in an accelerated time frame.

We were honored to receive the CureSearch “Champion for Cures Award” recognizing the Fisher Phillips family’s impact throughout 2024. And Chairman and Managing Partner, John Polson, has been appointed to the CureSearch Board of Directors. "I am honored to join CureSearch in their fight to end childhood cancer,” said Polson. “This is a cause close to my heart, and I look forward to contributing to the organization's critical work in advancing cutting-edge research and providing hope to children and families affected by cancer."
