While 2021 has already introduced its fair share of change, Brian Elston Law is pleased to support youth baseball, a sport that James Earl Jones in Field of Dreams has stated is a constant for America.

“One of our goals for each client is to provide stability as they go through personal injury accidents, workers’ compensation injuries, and employment disputes. So, the opportunity to support youth baseball and provide stability to players, parents and the community during these times is inline with our mission.” says Brian Elston. The organization is Mountain Fire Baseball Association, and Elston will also serve as a coach of one of the teams.

To learn more about Mountain Fire Baseball Association including tryouts and upcoming game schedule (TBD) check out the website at mountainfirebaseball.org

Mountain Fire Baseball 9U and 12U tryouts are January 30th, 2021. Tryouts will be at Bob Lewis Fields – Field 7. Pre-Registration is required – click here to register.

Brian Elston Law hopes that everyone will enjoy the consistent joy that youth baseball brings about.

If you or a loved one have gone through the unexpected change of an accident or employment dispute, please contact Brian Elston Law to schedule a consultation.

This year, we’ve made donations to 10 non-profits and it felt good to be part of the change we wish to see in the world.

I did want to highlight two causes in particular.

Western North Carolina Area of Narcotics Anonymous

Holidays can be tough, and for those with addiction issues, dealing with family, stress, money for presents, it can be even tougher. Now, add on to the stress that you can’t meet with your support group because of the plague, it is even tougher. For those that know me, my brother Jeff passed away around this time last year due to addiction. By all accounts, his NA group meant so much to him, and him to them. At his funeral, they shared memorable stories of his wonderful sense of humor, often heard laughter, and his constant willingness to help others either by helping them with their cars or just sharing his struggles and faith. Addiction, anxiety, depression, and stuff happens. Everyone deals with it in some sort of fashion, and it is okay to reach out to a brother or sister to share in the struggle. Check out Western North Carolina Area of Narcotics Anonymous if you just need a minute.

Live Free 999

Along those same lines, Live Free 999 supports young people in their battles with addiction, anxiety and depression. If you haven’t heard, check out Wishing Well by Juice Wrld. Some say, (and this person will know who said this when they read it), it is the greatest song ever written.

Here is the full list of charities we donated to

Each year around this time, my firm sends out Christmas Cards and calendars to clients and contacts. This year is different, which I know is an understatement. It just seems a bit hollow this year sending out cards wishing everyone a Merry Christmas when I know that 2020 has been very hard. So, this year, we want to do something different. Instead of cards and calendars, we’d like to give back to a local worthy cause. If anyone has any suggestions, please share below and we’ll do our best to help out this year.

Let Us Know What You Think

We would love the communities feedback in finding ways to give back and help out this year. Please send us an email or click on the Social Media posts below to add comments. We look forward to your suggestions!

Brian Elston Law is working with the Asheville Tennis Association to provide free tennis kits to support children and their family that may not have access to tennis gear.

The tennis kits consist of a 10-foot movable net, four rackets, and three tennis balls. In addition to using the kits for these free clinics, the ATA also plans to give 75 of them away to families in under-served areas who have limited-to-no access to courts.

Recently, ATA President Jeff Joyce spoke to WLOS about the program:

“These under-served populations in the housing projects and other low-income areas don’t have that same advantage. Therefore, we’re taking it to them, which is what we should be doing.”

Source: WLOS ABC 13 News

The kits were donated by the Brian Elston Law, and the ATA has been communicating with various non-profits and community organizations to identify families to receive them. The clinic at the Grant Center was the seventh of the summer so far.
