By Brenda Considine
LAWRENCEVILLE – A team of 52 employees, family members and Special Olympics athletes participated in Jingle All the Way on December 2nd to raise money for Special Olympics New Jersey. Together, they collected over $3,000 in donations.
This annual event features a competitive road race and a fun run, and the Hinkle, Fingles & Prior team joined over 500 participants at the SONJ Sports Complex on Princess Road in Lawrenceville. Many participants wore festive holiday costumes, custom team t-shirts or funny holiday hats.
The Hinkle, Fingles & Prior team was led by Team Captain Maria Fischer, who is an attorney with the firm and whose daughter, Traci, is an SONJ athlete. Traci trains and competes year-round in soccer, cross country skiing, basketball and track & field, as well as participates in unified volleyball, where teams are made up both SONJ athletes and members of the community.
“As a long-time corporate partner with SONJ, we are extremely proud to have such a large turnout for this year’s event. Two of our employees have children who are Special Olympics athletes. They, along with the other SONJ athletes on our team, are inspirational to us all and serve to remind us of our firm’s mission,” said S. Paul Prior, Esq., a partner with the firm.
