Manatee County law firm charitable, civic minded

Tickets, tickets anyone.

Since the Tampa Bay Rays (Devil Rays) began playing Major League baseball at the Trop, the law firm of Kallins, Little & Delgado has been season ticket holders. For the past 17 years, the law firm has provided tickets to numerous youth, individuals and charitable organizations.

There were many times when they would call one of the local branches of the Boys & Girls Clubs to donate tickets to be used by needy children and their parents.

Scott Kallins, Melton Little and Jimmy Delgado are active members of our community, and serve on many volunteer boards. They are always willing to give of their time and expertise to make this a better community.

I am 100 percent positive that it was that charitable spirit in which they provided the judge tickets to a Rays game. To suggest that there was improper conduct on the part of the law firm is "simply ridiculous."
