Giving Back
Romanucci & Blandin values our team's contributions to community through charitable involvement in addition to our legal work. We encourage our attorneys and staff to be active with non-profit organizations and civic groups and even to hold public office.
Most recently, our firm was pleased to sponsor the 2021 St. Jude Children's Research Hospital event Dream Chicago, and support Founding Partner Antonio M. Romanucci, who was Honorary Chairperson for the event. The fundraiser generated more than $1.6 million to support pediatric cancer research.
From holding a board leadership role at Lambs Farm, an organization dedicated to providing enriching experiences for people with developmental disabilities, to serving as the spokesperson for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Race for the Cure in Chicago and dozens of other contributions, our team is active and passionate about giving back.
We are proud of Managing Partner, Hon. Gina A. DeBoni who is an elected Trustee in the Village of Glenview in north suburban Chicago.

Community Relations
Our community relations initiatives are always evolving as the needs in our regional and national communities change.
One example of this was our 2020 program to support the restaurant and foodservice industry workers who were tragically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Romanucci & Blandin created a program and shared details with the Chicago legal community to encourage donations to Frontline Foods - a non-profit organization that utilizes struggling restaurants to prepare and deliver meals to healthcare teams and hospitals.
We also are eager to partner with law schools to support the pipeline of tomorrow’s attorneys and with legal organizations and bar associations on their philanthropic efforts.
We welcome conversations with community leaders and groups on ways we can work together. Anyone with questions or ideas can contact:
