The Lucosky Brookman Foundation
Since our inception, we have dedicated considerable time and resources to giving back to the community with a hands-on approach to charitable activities. We established the Lucosky Brookman Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, through which the Firm donates to qualified organizations on behalf of the Firm and through which we are able to receive donations from charitable friends, clients, and colleagues. The Foundation was created to take over the management and coordination of the Firm's ever-increasing charitable contributions and activities. The Lucosky Brookman Foundation's primary goal is to use the power of philanthropy to impact the lives of those less fortunate, with a particular focus on children's causes. The Foundation hopes to educate individuals and bring awareness to various sponsored initiatives that make a profound difference in other individuals' lives, now and far into the future.

The Lucosky Brookman Foundation continues support for the Save a Child's Heart Foundation, raising over $1,300,000 to date
Since 2014, Lucosky Brookman has been committed to making a positive impact on the world by supporting charitable causes. With the unwavering support of its clients, friends, and colleagues, the firm has raised $1,300,000 for charity.
The net proceeds from these fundraising efforts have a profound effect on the lives of children in developing countries. Specifically, they enable children to receive critical pediatric heart surgery and essential post-operative care. These life-saving procedures are often unavailable to children in regions where access to quality healthcare is limited.
One of Lucosky Brookman’s key philanthropic initiatives is its partnership with Save A Child’s Heart (SACH), an international humanitarian project. SACH’s mission is clear: to improve the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children suffering from congenital and rheumatic heart disease in developing countries. Through its dedicated efforts, SACH has treated thousands of children, ranging from infants to 18-year-olds, providing them with a chance at a healthier future.
The firm’s Managing Partner, Joseph Lucosky, actively contributes to SACH’s mission by serving on its Board of Directors. Additionally, Lawrence Metelitsa, a Partner at Lucosky Brookman, is a member of SACH’s regional New York Board of Directors. Their commitment exemplifies the firm’s dedication to making a tangible difference in the lives of others.
At Lucosky Brookman, charitable giving is paramount—it’s a core value deeply ingrained in the firm’s culture. Beyond raising funds, the firm actively participates in large-scale events that engage everyone, including family and friends. Previous events have included charity golf outings, casino nights, and other gatherings, all aimed at supporting causes that matter.
The Lucosky Brookman Foundation, established in 2016, plays a pivotal role in managing and coordinating the firm’s charitable contributions. Its primary focus is on children’s causes, aiming to educate individuals and raise awareness about initiatives that create lasting positive impacts. Through action, Lucosky Brookman demonstrates that its commitment extends beyond legal excellence—it extends to making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
