Newport Law Firm Sponsoring Thanksgiving Contest for Kids

A Newport Beach-based law firm is giving kids the chance to win a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond by sharing what they are thankful for this Thanksgiving.

The "What do you have to be thankful for?" contest is being held via Facebook by the Seegmiller Law Firm. Children 12 and under are being asked to submit a one-minute video, or written essay, explaining what they have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

“Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year where we all take a look at our lives and express gratitude for our blessings,” West Seegmiller, founder and lead partner of the Seegmiller Law Firm, said.  “Oftentimes children possess a unique perspective on things and this contest offers them a forum for expressing themselves.”

Five finalists will be invited to share their entries in the Thanksgiving-themed contest to be held Wednesday, Nov. 27 at a luncheon at the Seegmiller Law Firm offices in Newport Beach. The winner will receive a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond, while the other finalists will be awarded other prizes.

To enter the contest, parents can submit their children's entries at facebook.com/TheSeegmillerLawFirm. Entries must be received no later than Friday, Nov. 22 at noon.  Also, entries must contain the name, age, grade, city of residence, school name, teacher’s name and parent’s daytime phone number.   

Before establishing his own firm in 1981, Seegmiller served as a judge of the California Superior Court for 10 years.
