Jay Blumenkopf has been selected as a recipient of the Litigation Counsel of America’s inaugural Peter Perlman Service Awards. The first class of 25 Peter Perlman Service Award recognizes LCA Fellows and others within the legal profession who have contributed in meaningful ways to society by giving their time and resources in an effort to improve the lives of others. The award is supported and sponsored by Peter Perlman, the LCA’s 2013 president.

Mr. Blumenkopf is chairman of the Board of Directors for One Heart World-Wide, an infant and maternal health charity founded at the request of the Dalai Lama. One Heart establishes culturally sensitive infant and maternal health projects in the most difficult and remote regions of the world to save lives and preserve indigenous cultures. On behalf of One Heart, Mr. Blumenkopf has traveled, under extremely dangerous conditions, on adventures to such places as Tibet, Nepal, the Congo and deep in the Jungles of South America to help establish One Heart’s life saving programs.
