In addition to representing injured victims, Thomas J. Henry is also dedicated to giving back to the local and global community. <strong>The</strong> firm has an active philanthropy program which supports causes related to poverty, veterans, national disaster relief, education, animals, and the arts. <strong>The</strong> firm has provided support to numerous national causes, including the American Cancer Society, American <strong>Heart</strong> Association, American Red Cross, and Special Olympics and also commits significant support to local, San Antonio-based charities including the San Antonio Parks Foundation, the Rey Feo Scholarship Foundation, SA YES Foundation, St. Mary’s University Alumni Association Scholarship Program, San Antonio MLK Foundation, San Antonio River Walk Association, Elf Louise Christmas Project, San Antonio Pets Alive (SAPA), Animal Defense League <strong>of</strong> Texas, and more. Throughout the year, the firm sponsors numerous local little league programs throughout the San Antonio area and in 2019 launched the viral “Clear the List” campaign to help San Antonio teachers get much needed supplies for their classrooms. Every October, the firm hosts "Bark in the Park," a community event that raises thousands <strong>of</strong> dollars for local pet charities. Each November, the Thomas J. Henry Turkey Giveaway provides Thanksgiving turkeys to thousands <strong>of</strong> families in Texas. Mr. Henry also consistently contributes to educational causes. Recently, he made a substantial donation toward the construction <strong>of</strong> a multi-million-dollar tennis facility at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. For years, his iPad giveaway program provided needy students with computers for school. In 2019, Thomas J. Henry put on a public concert for more than 10,000 people in Austin, Texas to raise money for SAFE Alliance, Superhero Kids and St. David's Foundation Community Fund. Thomas J. Henry also serves the nation’s brightest law students through the Thomas J. Henry Summer Associate Program—one <strong>of</strong> the most competitive and highest payed internships in the country. <strong>The</strong> program is dedicated to the mentoring and development <strong>of</strong> the next generation <strong>of</strong> legal leaders with past participants hailing from from the Top 10% <strong>of</strong> their respective laws schools, including Harvard School <strong>of</strong> Law, Columbia School <strong>of</strong> Law, and Northwestern Pritzker School <strong>of</strong> Law.
