Rack Law Group, PLLC Donates $30,000 to ACCEL
By Autumn Jarrett - Friday Oct 23, 2020
The Rack Law Group, a Scottsdale-based personal injury firm, has chosen ACCEL, a nonprofit that serves children and adults who have developmental disabilities, to be the recipient of a $30,000 donation. ACCEL will utilize the funds to renovate the campus’s onsite therapy pool and purchase new equipment for its life skills programs that support individuals with cognitive disabilities and behavioral disorders.

Following an extensive tour of ACCEL’s Metro campus, twin brothers, Adam and Anthony Rack, were so impressed with the organization after spending time on the campus and interacting with the students.

“We were introduced to ACCEL through a mutual acquaintance and after researching the organization, my brother Anthony and I scheduled a visit to learn more about the organization, said Adam Rack, managing partner at the Rack Law Group. “After meeting the students and seeing the depth of programs offered, their enthusiasm and excitement told us all we needed to know,” .

According to Jessie Bustamante, chief advancement officer at ACCEL, a variety of opportunities were shared for the Rack Law Group to consider. “We had a great visit with Adam and Anthony and wanted to give them a few choices for how they could support ACCEL. We are so thrilled that they are going to providing funding for so many of our important programs.”

“The donation from Rack Law Group will be used to purchase additional technology in our classrooms, support our transition to work program by allowing us to purchase a new dryer and continue the renovations to our therapy pool,” says ACCEL CEO Ray Damm. “In a time where nonprofits are being greatly affected by COVID-19, we are grateful for local supports like the Rack Law Group and Adam and Anthony’s generous contribution.”

ACCEL is dedicated to providing individuals with special needs with the skills to learn to work and live a successful life with dignity and independence.

“I believe one of the worst things children can endure is bullying and feeling like they don’t belong,” said Adam Rack. “At ACCEL, students don’t have to worry about that and are instead allowed to be the best versions of themselves.”
