BAR FOUNDATION FUND
With Only Three Weeks Left, We Need Your Help!
As year-end quickly approaches, don't miss your chance to join your friends and colleagues in supporting this year's Bar Foundation Fund campaign. The Bar Foundation Fund--and the Lawyers' Impact Fund in particular--is our way to give back to the community as a Bar. Through the generosity of our individual Bar members, we are able to pool our resources to make the greatest impact and to meet the greatest needs. It is an opportunity to remind the community how much attorneys give back to those around them. And we want each of you to have the opportunity to be a part of this greater good.
We've already raised over $222,000 to date for the overall campaign. Of that $222,000, over $141,000 has been pledged to the Lawyers' Impact Fund-the fund we will use to award grants to local nonprofits with a legal nexus in the first quarter of next year. Our goal is to raise $180,000 for the Lawyers' Impact Fund by December 31. We're getting closer each day, but we need your help!
For more information or to make other donation arrangements, contact Leah Reed Campbell, Director of Foundation Development at [email protected] or 704/375-8624.
