Growing stronger together through volunteering, outreach, and more
At Hensley Legal Group, we promise to treat every personal injury client like we would a member of our own family, and our longstanding commitment to engaging with our neighbors is an extension of that promise into the real world.
One of the firm’s core missions since its founding has been making a difference for those in need. Over the years, we have strived to give back to the community that has given us so much by participating in volunteer projects and outreach programs throughout the State of Indiana, fostering enduring relationships with others who are equally enthusiastic about giving back.
Some of Hensley’s most recent charitable endeavors include:
Every year, kids go to school without the tools necessary to succeed. No matter how many hours they put in at work, about one-third of Indiana families still have trouble affording such basics as housing, food, and transportation, and their children’s educations often suffer as a consequence.
This is why our firm came up with Backpacks 4 Good, which collaborates with school systems and private organizations to provide students across Indiana with quality backpacks full of indispensable classroom supplies by coordinating donations and hosting drive-thrus at our offices. So far, we have given out almost 55,000 fully stocked backpacks and hope to make many more available in the future.
Hensley Legal Group is reporting for Teddy Bear Patrol…again! From September 8-28, you can donate teddy bears in South Bend and Fort Wayne and impact children’s lives! These teddy bears will be given to local law officers and first responders to provide comfort to children who have been involved in an accident.
Donate you teddy bears at these locations!
Educating young minds is our society’s most crucial job, and we’ve decided to honor some of Indiana’s finest educators as our Teachers of the Month.
Worthy teachers who have been nominated by grateful students and parents will receive $500 from Hensley Legal Group to use however they please, and they will be featured on our digital billboard as well.
A panel from Hensley Legal Group is currently reviewing candidates for Teacher of the Month, so don’t hesitate to tell us about the teacher you admire most.
Pet adoption is an issue that’s near and dear to our hearts here at HLG. Our rescued pets become part of our families and enrich our lives, and we wanted as many people as possible to experience that exact same joy, so we got together with IndyHumane to create Fur-Ever Friends.
Each Friday, we post stories on our website and social media accounts about pets you can meet at IndyHumane, and we cover the adoption fees of every pet we highlight.
As if finding homes for dozens of wonderful Fur-Ever Friends wasn’t enough, the firm took its game to a whole new level in 2023 with Pawpalooza, an annual celebration that connects even more families with loving animals.
Since he began his legal career, John Hensley has made it a priority to lend a hand to the poor and vulnerable.
Nevertheless, we realize that we aren’t the only ones out there who are eager to pitch in, so we’ve launched an opportunity for them to apply for microgrants that can give their efforts on behalf of the public a boost.
HLG’s internal voting committee regularly awards funds to the most deserving applicants, so click here to submit a request for a microgrant if you have a proposal that should be considered.
Caroline’s Care Kits
At Hensley Legal Group, giving is something we think about all year. We are a company full of civic-minded individuals coming together to help our clients daily, and we love helping others when we aren’t at the office, so it may be no surprise that Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday.
And because we are well aware that budgets can get tight by the time that special day rolls around, we do our part to make life a little easier by filling laundry baskets with household essentials and shelf stable feast fixings and delivering them to struggling families the week before Thanksgiving.
Official Partner of the Indiana Pacers
Hensley Legal Group is proud to be an Official Partner of the Indiana Pacers, Indy’s own three-time-champion ABA/NBA superstars.
We have been enormous fans of the Pacers since well before the firm opened its doors in Indianapolis in 1998, cheering along with Boomer from the stands or at home every time they play.
And much like the Pacers, HLG believes in the value of hard work and the importance of giving back to the communities we serve, and this partnership is an opportunity for both our teams to have a positive impact on the lives of our friends and neighbors for many years to come.
Official Indiana Fever Partnership
Hensley Legal Group is just as proud of its Official Partnership with the Indiana Fever, Indianapolis’s championship-winning WNBA franchise.
HLG and the Fever are a perfect match in many ways. We both got our start in Indy about a quarter century ago, we both overcame the odds to achieve our goals, and we are both committed to giving back.
And whether we are rooting for the Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse or joining forces on critical initiatives like Backpacks 4 Good and Pawpalooza, both our teams are excited about lifting up our fellow Hoosiers.
Our Partnership With The Colts
We are diehard Colts fans. We even have Blue Fridays to show off our Colts gear! So when we were given the chance to team up with the Colts, we couldn’t imagine a more ideal alliance.
Like the Indianapolis Colts, we are passionate about winning the right way. From ticket giveaways and PSAs to fundraisers for Neurohope Wellness, our partnership with the Colts has allowed us to enact deep and lasting change.
As you can see, Hensley Legal Group is always trying to make Indiana a better place, but we’d be happy to hear if there’s something more that we could be doing, so feel free to get in touch and share the best ideas you have with us now.
