The Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) was the setting for the Justice Society Donor Reception to conclude the 2016 campaign for civil legal service funding known as the Campaign for Justice. Those in attendance enjoyed the opportunity to network with colleagues, vendors, event sponsors, and many of the Campaign for Justice Cabinet members.
Individual donors who contribute $350 or more to the annual campaign are invited to the reception. For the third year in a row, Canandaigua National Bank, D4 LLC, Constellation Brands, and Bond Schoeneck & King PLLC have sponsored the event at no cost to the three organizations who benefit from the Campaign: Volunteer Legal Services Project, Inc., Legal Aid Society of Rochester, and Legal Assistance of Western New York.
“We are blessed to have the caliber of attorneys working in the civil legal services,” Campaign Co-Chair Andrew Brown noted. “It is the community’s most vulnerable who benefit from the Campaign funding.”
With $267,000 pledged to date, the leadership is still hopeful that the $13,000 gap from goal will be filled in very soon.
