With near-final-numbers settling into place, it looks like the 2015 Art of Lawyering fundraiser for civil legal services will net $11,500. That’s at least $3,000 more than the 2013 auction, and the highest net proceeds since the fundraiser began in 2007.
The Village Gate venue and range of art work (84 items!) also raised the FUN factor, so that chart looks something like this:
- A big thank you goes out to all the sponsors, art donors, and auction shoppers!
- A special salute to the School of the Arts for their collaboration on an art/justice project.
- A round of applause for the pro bono performance of Special Counsel – a 5 piece band that kept attendees entertained and engaged.
- And HATS OFF to the committee of volunteers who made this a success!
