Justice at Work
June 2014
It's hard to believe, but June 30th is just days away, marking the end of our 2013-14 Campaign for Justice. We are so grateful for all of you who have stepped up again this year in the name of equal justice.
 
If you haven't had an opportunity yet to make your donation, we hope you'll do so now by clicking here. We don't want to get to June 30th without you.  
Donors Applauded 

  

Over 200 donors braved the rain, hail and tornado warnings on May 22nd to attend the Legal Aid Foundation's Donor Recognition Reception at the Ralph Carr Judicial Center. Guests enjoyed food, drink and conversation, while also hearing from Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Nancy Rice and Tina Smith, a former legal aid client who is currently serving as Board Chair of Colorado Legal Services. Pictures from the event can be viewed here.

The 10th annual Associates Campaign was the most successful yet, raising $100,000 for legal aid during the month of April. This associate-led effort enlisted nearly 1,000 members of the legal community to assure fairness for all in our justice system. 

 

A record 49 firms participated in this year's Campaign, 29 of which achieved 100 percent associate participation. Check out the winners of this friendly competition here.
