Local Attorneys Turn Unclaimed Class-Action Funds into Final Dreams
Surprise Donation Will Make Over 100 Dreams Come True for Terminally-Ill Adults across the Nation
The gift resulted from a large class action lawsuit settlement achieved by the Santa Barbara-based law firm of Foley Bezek Behle & Curtis, LLP. Gignac explained that, “There was a residual sum of money that could not be distributed to class members who had relocated without a forwarding address or simply never cashed the settlement checks that were provided to them.”
Gignac petitioned the Court for permission to donate the residual settlement funds to two Santa Barbara-based non-profit organizations.
Gignac continues, “I selected Dream Foundation as one of the two non-profits because of my and my family’s more than twenty years of being involved with Dream Foundation. As a long-term donor and a former Board member, I know Dream Foundation to be an organization that brings joy to so many people’s lives when they most need it.”
