Raising the Bar for Legal Aid - A Humble Thanks!
The numbers are in: the Legal Aid Foundation raised nearly $1.25 million for Colorado's statewide civil legal services program during the 2007-08 Campaign for Justice. The Foundation is excited to report that the legal community admirably met the new target-giving level for law firms, which
increased for the first time in five years from $300 per lawyer in the firm to $350 per lawyer. We are grateful for your leadership and generosity, which will help so many in Colorado who have no place else to turn. For more information, visit www.legalaidfoundation.org or call Diana Poole at 303-863-9544.
