Attorney raises $17,000 for MDA

Every year, the DBA YLD raises an extraordinary amount of money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s annual “Lock-Up” event. This year they have raised more than $50,000 and some say as much as $70,000.

An even bigger achievement is that Kristin Hauptman of Notarianni & Notarianni single-handedly raised $17,153 for MDA.

Real estate related companies, held by Mercury Companies, Inc., helped bail-out Kristin.“It was a great privilege to rally these businesses behind such a good cause,” she said.

The MDA has invited her to appear on behalf of the DBA YLD at its upcoming annual Memorial Day telethon in Chicago. Great job, Kristin!
