Lee Rawiszer Announces Client “Give Back” Charity Program Benefiting Autism and Students in Need on Behalf of Paradigm Financial Partners

Westport, CT (PRWEB) April 23, 2014

Paradigm Financial Partners, (formerly Halper-Rawiszer Financial Group), a Westport-based financial and wealth management company, has announced a charity program to donate to their favorite cause-based charities, Pencils of Promise and Autism Speaks. As part of the program, Paradigm Financial Partners has committed to donate to each charity on behalf of their long-standing clients annually on their birthday - a unique way to thank their clients and at the same time, contribute to worthwhile causes that impact the community.

"We have supported these charities for many years and we were looking for a creative way to thank our clients outside of the traditional 'wine and dine' approach," said Lee Rawiszer, managing principal of Paradigm Financial Partners. "By creating this give back program, we proudly established a commitment to support these incredible charities while recognizing our clients who are so valuable to us. It's an honor to lead a Firm that's committed to more than just business--our charity program is a win-win for everyone," he said.

Rawiszer added that the Paradigm Financial team decided to take a creative approach as part of a way to pay homage to the charities closest to the Firm's heart. As a longtime giver to Pencils of Promise, Rawiszer said he is passionate about enabling education for those who would otherwise not have access. He is inspired by the organization's founder, Adam Braun, who has garnered accolades for his contributions to change the world. His book The Promise of a Pencil debuted at #2 on the New York Times Bestseller list.

In addition, the Firm is also proud to support Autism Speaks after experiencing autism through close friends and family. Rawiszer's longtime partner, David Halper, has a close friend whose child is autistic, and, another member of the Firm has an autistic niece. They selected Autism Speaks to channel the Firm's support behind this amazing cause.

"Now with a prevalence rate of one in 68 children who are being diagnosed, autism remains a major concern in this country, and one that our Firm feels very passionate about," Rawiszer said. "We feel we can make a difference by putting our organization's resources behind them--not only by financial support but also by increasing awareness of what they do and how they help others," he said.

The Firm's donations will be presented to the charities this year. To learn more about Paradigm Financial Partners, please visit PFPartners.com.
