Celebrating Generosity: GBA Raises Over $19,000 for Legal Aid of NC
On Saturday, April 13, 2024, the Greensboro Bar Association hosted a remarkable fundraiser in support of Legal Aid of NC, showcasing the power of community and generosity. Through the unwavering support and generous donations of its members, the association raised an impressive total of $19,543.00, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to access to justice for all.
The fundraiser, held at Boxcar Bar + Arcade, was a vibrant celebration of unity and compassion, bringing together legal professionals, community members, and supporters of the Legal Aid office. Attendees were treated to an evening filled with camaraderie, entertainment, and heartfelt contributions towards a worthy cause.
At the GBA’s membership meeting on April 18, 2024, the proceeds of the fundraiser were presented to Legal Aid of NC in a symbolic gesture of solidarity and support. The donation represents not only a financial contribution but also a reaffirmation of the shared values of justice, equality, and compassion that unite the legal profession.
The funds raised will enable Legal Aid of NC to continue its vital work of providing legal assistance to individuals and families in our community who may otherwise lack access to legal representation. From advocating for vulnerable populations to providing crucial legal services, Legal Aid plays a pivotal role in ensuring that justice is accessible to all, regardless of income or circumstance.
On behalf of the GBA, we extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of the fundraiser. We’d like to recognize our Legal Aid Fundraiser Committee Co-Chairpersons, Casey Robinson and Kim Gatling, for organizing and executing a successful and meaningful event!
