Last week, as part of our annual Back-to-School Drive, we were thrilled to donate 40 new backpacks and a variety of school supplies to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento for its “Stock the Club” Back-2-School distribution event, which collects school supplies to offset the cost families incur as kids go back to school as well as throughout the school year. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento is dedicated to providing a safe place for our region's youth to learn, grow, and thrive. Together with their generous supporters and dedicated community partners, the Club provides life-changing programs that support the academic, physical, and emotional development of kids and teens. The Boys & Girls Club works to ensure that every young person that walks through its doors graduates on time, is living a healthy lifestyle, demonstrates good character and citizenship, and develops the skills and confidence needed to accomplish their dreams. Thank you to the Downey Brand team for making our Back-to-School Drive a success, and for helping us ensure that kids and teens in #GreaterSacramento start their first day with all the supplies they need to succeed. Wishing all of the kids the very best school year!

The California ISO has unveiled a 20-year plan to transform the state's electricity grid, aiming to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2045. This ambitious project involves connecting 165 gigawatts of new renewable energy sources, including offshore wind, solar, and energy storage. As California electrifies transportation and industry, peak electricity demand is expected to rise significantly, necessitating extensive grid upgrades estimated to cost between $45 billion and $63 billion. The CAISO intends to meet with stakeholders this year to make this vision a reality, moving us closer to a sustainable, zero-carbon future.

Fostering diversity and supporting the next generation of legal professionals is a core part of our DEI efforts. Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting the annual summer luncheon for the UC Davis School of Law King Hall Outreach Program (KHOP). We welcomed Joe Schneider, Director of Admission and Outreach at the University of California, Davis - School of Law, and a record 31 students, many of whom were experiencing a law firm environment for the first time. A shout-out to Tyson Hubbard, our Mentoring and Professional Success Partner, for kicking off the event with an overview of Downey Brand and the legal profession, Stephen Meyer for sharing insights on the firm’s pro bono program, and associate Stella Rugama and our class of summer associates for their insightful Q&A. We had a wonderful time hosting this great group of students and getting to know them better. And who doesn’t like ice cream? We concluded the event with a tour of our newly remodeled office and ice cream in celebration of National Ice Cream Day. We are proud to support KHOP and look forward to our continued partnership.
