PHILADELPHIA – Support Center for Child Advocates (SCCA) honored Troutman Pepper Locke with its Foundational Advocate Award in recognition of the firm’s longstanding support, pro bono service, and enduring partnership in advancing the organization’s mission to advocate for children and expand access to justice.

“From the earliest days of our organization, Troutman Pepper Locke has played an important role in helping lay the foundation for SCCA’s work,” said Lisa Barrimond, executive director of SCCA. “Their continued commitment has helped provide the stability needed for our programs to grow and serve our community year after year.”

For more than four decades, SCCA has served children who have experienced abuse or neglect by securing critical social services, identifying safe and stable homes when needed, and supporting children through court proceedings. The organization works to ensure safety, health, education, family permanency, and access to justice for every child in its care, and whenever possible, strives to keep children and families together in their own homes.

Each year, Troutman Pepper Locke attorneys dedicate thousands of pro bono hours in support of nonprofits, military veterans, children, the wrongfully convicted, civil rights and social justice initiatives, and so many other causes. Learn more at troutman.com/pro-bono.
