Community Involvement
Hospice Hustle 2014
George & Farinas, LLP extends their warmest gratitude on behalf of all of their clients and their families who have personally received compassionate care from Hospice workers. For years, Hospice has provided services for patients whose illness, such as Mesothelioma or asbestos cancer, have stopped responding to treatment. Because the typical life expectancy for mesothelioma is less than a year, this type of care is an option for many patients whose illness is beyond the curable stage. This type of care extends beyond the physical, and incorporates emotional, social and spiritual support.
In September G&F supports local Munster, Indiana chapter, Hospice of Calumet. We are proud sponsor of their 10th Annual Hospice Hustle to take place September 21st at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Crown Point, Indiana. The proceeds of this special Anniversary cycling event benefit Hospice patients in Northwest Indiana. For more information or to join in the event, visit

Join our LUNG FORCE Team
Join George & Farinas, proud sponsors of the American Lung Association's initiative "LUNG FORCE" to lead the fight against lung cancer and for women's lung health. Did you know that lung cancer is the number one cancer killer of women? If not, you are not alone. According the American Lung Association's inaugural Women's Lung Health Barometer, this disease is not even on women's radar. In fact, more than half of the women polled believed that breast cancer kills more women, despite deaths associated with lung cancer surpassing breast cancer over a quart of a century ago. Watch this
video to learn more.
Anyone can get lung cancer. Smoking is not the only cause. At George & Farinas, we fight for working men & women affected by lung cancer as a result of workplace exposures, such as inhalation of asbestos fibers. In the past few years we represented more women with asbestos-related cancer than ever before. These are spouses and adults who were exposed as daughters in their homes. Workers carried the asbestos fibers on their clothing, shoes, body and hair. The asbestos fibers contaminated cards and home. The clothing that was full of fibers exposed all who did the laundry.
If you want to directly support the health of women in Indiana by supporting the fight against lung cancer, join Team George & Farinas, LLP for the 1st Annual LUNG FORCE Walk.To join our team, or find out more about how you can support LUNG FORCE, call our office today (317) 637-6071 & ask to speak to Ashleigh.
