Active in his professional community, Steven Schlesinger belongs to the Nassau County Bar Association, which gives back to the community through the WE CARE Fund.

The charitable arm of the Nassau County Bar Association, the WE CARE Fund collects funds from attorneys and judges for distribution through grants that benefit seniors and youth as well as others in need. The WE CARE Fund has distributed over $3 million to more than 100 charitable causes, including the Education and Assistance Corporation, the Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Nassau County Girl Scouts, Nassau County Family Court Emergency Fund, and the Long Island Council of Churches.

The We Care program also hosts several annual events, including the Childrens’ Holiday Festival and a Thanksgiving Luncheon for local seniors, as well as the WE CARE Golf and Tennis Classic, the program’s main fundraising event. The success of the WE CARE Fund has made it a model for bar groups looking to institute similar programs throughout the country.
