Milgraum Family Service Grant
https://www.pad.org/page/grants
At the 62nd Biennial Convention of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International the formation of the “Milgraum Family Service Grant” was announced. The members, delegates and their family members were urged to apply for the Grant so that the inaugural winner of the grant could be announced at the convention.
The Milgraum Family Service Grant has been established, by this firm and members of the Milgraum Family, to honor the unquestionable community service which is provided by “First Responders” and to show appreciation to those family members of “First Responders” who are subject to stressors felt by the unpredictability of the life of a “First Responder”.
The service grant is in memory of, and to honor, the lifelong service of Sergeant Stanley Milgraum, a retired New York City policeman who became a practicing attorney after his retirement from the NYC police department.
The Service Grant is awarded each year (so long as the funding exists) to a member of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity International, in good standing who is, or has been, a “First Responder” or to an immediate family member of a “First Responder”. The Grant consists of a single award of $250.00 given to the recipient who is encouraged, but not obligated, to give “with no strings attached”, the monies to an individual, or individuals, of the recipient’s own choosing whom they believe would best benefit from receiving those funds [NO EXPLANATION REQUIRED].
The inaugural recipient of the Milgraum Family Service Grant (2018) is Alyssa V. Soto (Goldwater Chapter), who was in attendance at the convention as a student delegate for her chapter. Ms. Soto was honored for her service to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, as a “Police Communications Dispatcher” and for her service to Goldwater Chapter. Ms. Soto graciously accepted the grant and pledged the monies received to the family members of Trooper Tyler Edenhoefer who lost his life on July 25, 2018.
The second recipient of the Milgraum Family Service Grant (2019) is Allison J. Bloom, Esq. (Wm. O. Douglas Chapter), an attorney who practiced in the limited area of "Emergency Medical Service (EMS)" law. She graciously accepted the grant and donated the funds to the Easton Volunteer EMS where she spent many years volunteering her services.
The third recipient of the Milgraum Family Service Grant (2020) is Ashley Rushton (Troy University Pre-Law Chapter), a child of a first-responder who experienced the sacrifices a police officer endures and the impact felt by the family.
The fourth recipient of the Milgraum Family Service Grant (2021) is Jason Michael Ross, Esq. (Past International Justice, Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity International) who not only practices law but is an active volunteer firefighter with the Bradley Beach Fire Department which was his chosen recipient of the grant award.
The fifth recipient of the Milgraum Family Service Grant (2022) is Katy Nadira, a first-year law student at Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, AL. She is the daughter of a nurse who has worked in the medical field for almost 30 years and sacrificed time with the family practicing proper COVID-19 protocols. The grant will be used to assist Katy with her purchase of textbooks for her studies.
