Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers’ Managing Partner Greg Neinstein was recently recognized by the Brain Injury Society of Toronto (BIST), a non-profit organization that supports Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) survivors, as their volunteer of the year.
Greg has been a volunteer with the organization for the last ten years and since 2009, he’s dedicated countless hours as the chair of the Mix & Mingle event, which raises awareness and funds for those living with acquired brain injuries.
“When I first started volunteering with BIST and the Mix & Mingle I was touched by the work that you guys do,” said Greg in his acceptance speech. “I knew I wanted to be a part of this special organization to help make a difference in a meaningful way.
“This journey that I embarked on in the last 6 years taught me that togetherness, or working with many towards a common goal is a very powerful thing.”
Since 2009, the Mix & Mingle event grew from 100 attendees to about 700 attendees. Last year, the event raised $150,000 and since Greg took on the role of the chair, the event has raised more than $500,000.
Greg is a passionate advocate for ABI survivors, which he demonstrates when defending their claims in court, but he also spends a great deal of time raising awareness about the issue. Community volunteerism has always been important to Greg and he encourages everyone to get involved, stay engaged and give back through volunteering your time and skills.
“Through volunteerism, we can make BIST a force to be reckoned with and bring more programs to ABI survivors and ensure that support is always available to those who need it,” said Greg.
“I will continue to do my best for this amazing organization that I feel blessed to be a part of.”
