Our Community Involvement in Chicago

Legal Advocacy Through Nonprofit Partnerships

Sustained Commitment to Chicago Community Outreach

For decades, McNabola & Associates has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to community outreach through strategic nonprofit partnerships across the Chicago area. Our firm's deep community involvement extends beyond financial support to active board membership and hands-on legal advocacy for organizations serving vulnerable populations.

These meaningful engagements reflect our core belief that true justice extends beyond the courtroom and into the neighborhoods we serve. Our attorneys hold leadership positions with prominent organizations, including CARPLS, which provides free legal services to low-income residents, and the 100 Club of Chicago, supporting families of fallen first responders. This board membership allows us to contribute our legal expertise while supporting missions that align with our firm's values of service and justice.

These nonprofit partnerships enable us to make a tangible difference in areas including education, family services, and public safety. Through corporate philanthropy and charitable sponsorships, we support organizations like Metropolitan Family Services, which has empowered Chicago families since 1857, and Our Lady of Tepeyac High School's scholarship program.

Our legal philanthropy focuses on creating opportunities and removing barriers for those in need throughout our community. This multifaceted approach to community involvement allows us to address both immediate needs and systemic challenges facing Chicago residents. Our support extends to educational institutions, including Loyola University School of Law, where we contribute to programs like Life After Innocence that provide critical legal services.

These scholarship sponsorships and program support help train the next generation of attorneys while providing essential services to those wrongfully convicted. Our commitment to education reflects our belief in creating lasting change through opportunity and access. We measure the success of our community involvement not just in dollars contributed, but in lives impacted and communities strengthened.

From sponsoring the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, supporting men's health initiatives, to our ongoing support of the Emerald Society of Illinois, our engagements reflect the diverse needs of our Chicago community. These meaningful nonprofit partnerships represent our firm's dedication to being more than just attorneys--we're committed community partners working to create a stronger, more just Chicago for all.

McNabola Motorcycle Rescue

Free Emergency Motorcycle Rescue for Riders Across the Chicago Area

McNabola Motorcycle Rescue provides free emergency towing and rescue services for motorcyclists involved in accidents within the Chicago area.

Riders who call (312‑584‑4477) can have their motorcycle safely transported—at no cost—to an affiliated dealership or secure storage location, freeing them to focus on recovery. The service is sponsored by McNabola & Associates, a Chicago personal injury law firm, but using the rescue does not obligate riders to hire the firm. This rescue program is expressly limited to accident situations (not breakdowns or mechanical failures).

Through this initiative, McNabola & Associates demonstrates solidarity with the motorcycling community, easing one burden after a crash so injured riders can heal without added logistical stress.

Involved in the Chicago Motorcycle Community

Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride 2018

McNabola & Associates was proud to continue our sponsorship of the Chicago Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in 2018, especially when giving back involves getting a chance to ride while also working with a charity that contributes to an issue that affects millions of men everywhere. 690 riders donned their finest suits, jumped on their vintage-style motorcycles, and went for a ride through the city and surrounding areas. They rode to both combat the stereotypes so often wrongfully perpetrated about motorcycle riders and to raise awareness of men’s health issues. The nearly 700 riders raised more than $88,000 for charities such as The Movember Foundation, which promotes awareness and a cure for prostate cancer.

USA Midwest Province of the Jesuits

Attorney Ted McNabola is a financial supporter of the USA Midwest Province of the Jesuits. As someone who has been educated throughout his life at Jesuit institutions – including attending the Loyola Law Academy, Loyola University Chicago, and the Loyola University Chicago School of Law – Ted has always felt a strong connection to this order of priests, its organizations, and its teachings.

The Jesuits, or the Society of Jesus, is a Roman Catholic order of priests founded nearly 500 years ago. Pope Francis is a Jesuit and the first Jesuit pope. Although Jesuits are known to “serve wherever the need is greatest,” they have become widely recognized for establishing reputable colleges, universities, and high schools, like Loyola University and Georgetown University, because education is considered a keynote of the Society of Jesus. Given that the Jesuits and Attorney McNabola both understand the importance of providing educations and safe places for youths and people in need, it makes all the more sense that our law firm would support the USA Midwest Province of the Jesuits.
