Barnes & Thornburg, ranking No. 73 on the Am Law 100, uses its office on the 33rd floor in Columbus to host a fireworks viewing party. The event benefits families working with the Childhood League Center, which supports children with developmental disabilities. Partner Katrina Thompson emphasizes inclusivity, providing a quiet room and radio volume control to reduce overstimulation. Air conditioning and accessible facilities enhance comfort. Families with autism often face challenges during large events, and this gathering aims to create enjoyable memories together during the July 4th celebration.
"This is often a stressful time for families with autism or sensory issues. So I like to have this event to really bring the families together to experience and hopefully have a core memory around Red, White and BOOM!"
"We've got air conditioning, a little temperature control, there's restrooms, handicap accessible restrooms that people can use."
