AKRON, Ohio, Dec. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- It's the most wonderful time of the year. The law firm Kisling, Nestico & Redick (KNR) kicked off the holiday season with 12 Days of Christmas donations to try and make the season a little brighter for Ohio families.

From a Shop with a Cop event in Toledo to paying off $5,000 in layaways in Akron, the donations were part of the 12-month campaign, KNR Cares About Kids, which is a commitment to give back to the community each month and help kids reach their full potential.

"We enjoyed helping our neighbors this holiday season, especially those in need," said Rob Nestico, managing partner at KNR. "There is always a lot of stress during this time of year, but we hope the donations we made throughout our Ohio footprint help make the holidays truly the most wonderful time of the year. We also wanted to inspire others in the community to jump on board and pay it forward." In the spirit of inspiring others, KNR encourages people to share their own good deeds on social media using #KNRCares.

The 12 Days of Christmas celebration, which ran December 1 to 12, included:

• On the first day of Christmas KNR gave to me…a fully decorated Christmas tree. The tree had shatter proof ornaments, lottery tickets and gift cards with a value of around $350. The social media giveaway ran through November 21 and Anne Klein from Fairlawn was announced the winner.
