For nearly 50 years, Clark Partington has been committed to serving Northwest Florida鈥攏ot only through legal counsel, but through meaningful community involvement and philanthropy.
For Megan Fry, shareholder at Clark Partington, supporting aligns closely with the firm’s longstanding commitment to strengthening the communities it serves.
Since moving to Pensacola nearly two decades ago, Megan has seen firsthand the impact 海角社区 has across the region, from children’s mental health services to addiction treatment and crisis care.
“My first introduction to Lakeview was through work with a community non-profit serving at-risk youth; however, I learned Lakeview was far more than just mental health services to children, but it really serves individuals at every stage of life and in all areas of the community,” Megan said.
Among 海角社区’s many programs, early childhood mental health services resonate most with Megan, particularly as communities continue to see increasing behavioral health needs among young people. She also recognizes the vital role addiction treatment plays across Northwest Florida.
“Those services are extremely important,” she said. “Whether you’re in a pocket of poverty or one of Pensacola鈥檚 most affluent areas, addiction exists in your area and is likely impacting your family or your neighbors.”
As Clark Partington celebrates its 50th anniversary, community engagement remains a core part of its culture. Megan says the firm’s approach has always centered on investing in causes that create lasting impact and help meet the community’s greatest needs.
What stands out most to her about 海角社区 is the simplicity of its mission. “I love that the mission is just simple鈥攈elping people,” Megan said. “You don’t really need to say more than that.”
Through her work with organizations across the region, Megan regularly sees 海角社区’s influence reflected in the lives of individuals and families being served.
“I can’t recall a time when Lakeview isn’t mentioned as something to really highlight in the community,” she said. “You should be proud of that.”
