We at Chopra & Nocerino are immensely proud to share that our founding partner, Sameer Chopra, was selected as the sole honoree at the 2025 Annual Ronald McDonald House Gala. The event, held on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at The Garden City Hotel, celebrated contributions to both the legal profession and the community.
In addition to celebrating Sameer’s recognition, Chopra & Nocerino was honored to serve as the Gala’s Premier Sponsor. Our support included pledging $100,000 to further the mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) New York Metro.
Chopra & Nocerino’s Mission to Serve
Sameer Chopra was honored for his outstanding legal achievements and his unwavering dedication to serving the community. Beyond securing some of the largest recoveries in New York State, Sameer has made it a personal mission to support families facing hardship through charitable initiatives that reach across New York and beyond.
For us, the motivation is simple: we believe deeply in supporting children and families during their most difficult times.
“I don’t do this work for the recognition. Giving back is simply a part of who I am. What matters most is helping Ronald McDonald House Charities continue its incredible mission.”
Our goal is always to fight for people, whether in the courtroom or by helping provide some kind of normality, peace, and the type of family love that is vital for healing and survival during challenging times.
Keeping Families Close
The Premier Sponsorship reflects our commitment to RMHC New York Metro’s powerful mission of “keeping families close” when children require critical health care. RMHC New York Metro provides vital care and support to families of children receiving medical care across Long Island, serving more than 12,000 families annually. The organization removes barriers, strengthens families, and promotes healing.
Under Sameer’s leadership, Chopra & Nocerino has become a strong force for good in the community. Our philanthropic legacy includes:
- Supporting and launching fundraising for Angelman Syndrome research
- Contributing annually to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
- Sponsoring charitable events to ensure families never face the financial burden of treatment for catastrophic childhood diseases
- Organizing a record-breaking Thanksgiving Day turkey giveaway in Brooklyn, NY
- Providing food and school supplies for underserved children in India through the Smile Foundation
We are humbled by the recognition and energized to continue supporting RMHC New York Metro as they provide essential services through programs like the Ronald McDonald House in New Hyde Park. This premier-level sponsorship of the 2025 Gala continues our legacy of blending recognition with meaningful impact.
