In this article from Chicago Lawyer, partner Brian Wolfe describes several of his pro bono initiatives that were fostered and encouraged by Kirkland, and his current work fundraising for research for a cure for Type 1 diabetes, which his son faces.
"... Five years ago, Wolfe’s generosity was reciprocated after his son Sam was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Since Sam’s diagnosis, the Wolfe family has accepted a greater leadership role in fundraising for type 1 diabetes research. Earlier this year, they were named the “Fund a Cure” family for the (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s) annual gala in December. As the Fund a Cure Family, the Wolfes chose to step into the spotlight and share their personal journey with type 1 diabetes and commit to fundraising in advance of the gala."
