Online, August 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Hauppauge, NY, July 20, 2010 . . . In response to an invitation from the Long Island Association (LIA), the law firm of DeHaan Busse LLP joined with other concerned LIA business members to help provide much-needed school supplies to Long Island children. The school supplies will be directly donated to the Family Service League's Backpacks for Back to School annual drive. They, in turn, will handle distribution.

"The slow economic recovery has had a tremendous effect on Long Island families," said John W. DeHaan, partner, DeHaan Busse.

We hope that our donations along with the donations of so many other local businesses can help ease the stress - even a little bit."
