Scottsdale-based personal injury law firm DeFusco Law is offering $300 stipends for classroom supplies to teachers in the Scottsdale Unified School District.

Applications will be accepted through July 14, 2023.

Attorneys Andy and Bryn DeFusco are the founding partners at DeFusco Law, a firm dedicated to providing legal representation for victims of vehicular accidents, crime victims, unreasonable conduct by insurance companies, and wrongful death survivors. Andy and Bryn are products of public schools and with their children attending Scottsdale Unified School District schools, they are passionate about supporting public education.
Since 2018, DeFusco Law has awarded over $40,000 to more than 130 district teachers for classroom supplies. DeFusco Law awards at least ten teachers with $300 stipends (five each semester) annually. They often allocate additional funds from settled claims referred to the firm by district community members.

Ms. Gomez, a teacher at Saguaro High School said in the press release, “As a high school teacher of 19 years being appreciated, awarded, celebrated, recognized, and supported by the DeFuscos with their generous stipend truly filled my heart. It’s amazing what their generosity and kindness did for my colleagues and me who were also awarded the stipend. It infuses educators with energy to continue to show up excited, inspired, and ready to teach because we feel and see that other professions appreciate us. Thank you.”

Mrs. Rose a teacher at Tavan Elementary School said, “I was a fortunate recipient of the DeFusco Law firm classroom stipend. They have been very generous for so many of us teachers for a long time, giving, giving, and giving. So often in education, it’s very challenging to get supplies and materials outside of the normal necessities. Usually, anything additional that teachers think would be helpful and engaging comes out of our own pockets. At the time it was awarded to me, I used my stipend to purchase a class set of exercise bands, which were fantastic for brain breaks! The DeFusco’s generosity makes it easier to go above and beyond in the classroom.”

DeFusco Law is honored to assist these valuable educators as they return to their classrooms tasked with the demands of teaching during these unprecedented times.
