New Sponsorship: “My Scars Are Beautiful”: A Cause Close to Our Hearts

New Sponsorship for LBC Law Group May 15, 2025

At LBC Law Group, we believe that our role as attorneys and community members goes far beyond the courtroom. We’re proud to share a partnership that’s deeply personal to our firm: we’ve officially become a sponsor of My Scars Are Beautiful, a Nevada-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides support to individuals living with the physical and emotional scars of trauma, including burn survivors like our founding partner, Christopher Blakesley.

For Christopher, this partnership is deeply personal.

On September 27, 2009, Christopher and two others were in a helicopter crash while on a sightseeing trip to Mt. Charleston. The pilot attempted to land near the summit, a 12,000 foot peak, but a downdraft pushed the helicopter into the side of the mountain. It caught fire and slid down the slope until finally resting. Christopher was sitting near the gas tank and suffered burns on roughly 18% of his body, including his arms, chest, neck, ears, and face.

Christopher spent almost five weeks recovering at the Lions Burn Care Center at University Medical Center, and underwent three surgeries, including skin grafts. Recovery was difficult, physically and emotionally. 

He also knows what it’s like to rely on an attorney to help him through litigating and eventually resolving his own personal injury case. 

Eventually, Christopher connected with My Scars Are Beautiful, where he began facilitating support groups for other burn survivors. Now, he’s proud to see LBC Law Group take on an active role in supporting the organization’s mission.

What My Scars Are Beautiful Does:

My Scars Are Beautiful was founded in 2016 and the organization is dedicated to supporting women, men, and children who have been physically and emotionally scarred by traumatic experiences. Their programs include:

  • Counseling and peer support groups

  • Trauma and art therapy workshops

  • Social outings that build community

  • Financial assistance for counseling, surgery, and insurance co-pays

Their mission is rooted in empathy, compassion, and the belief that every scar, whether visible or invisible, deserves acknowledgment and love. You can learn more about their work at myscarsarebeautiful.org.

Why This Matters to LBC Law Group

We talk often about being “attorneys, but different” at LBC Law Group. We care about the people we represent and the communities we live in. This sponsorship reflects the heart of our values: personal relationships, authenticity, and a commitment to using our platform for good.

We’re honored to stand alongside My Scars Are Beautiful in their mission and look forward to helping amplify their work in Nevada and beyond.
