The Legal Aid Society hosted its annual Summer Soiree in celebration of the 2012 Associates’ Campaign and to thank the associates and corporate professionals who made the campaign a success.
Fin Fogg, the President, and Steve Banks, the Attorney-in-Chief, were on hand to meet and greet the associates, corporate professionals, interns and externs who assist The Legal Aid Society in serving low-income New Yorkers. Awards were presented in recognition of outstanding fundraising leadership in the categories of top revenue, outstanding participation and exceptional generosity with a new “per capita donation” metric.
The event was held at Tavern29 on 29th & Park Avenue in Manhattan and was attended by associates, banking and corporate young professionals who support the Society through the Associates’ Campaign, an annual fundraising initiative run by Associates at the top firms in New York City, and the New Leadership Program, a new initiative that will officially kick-off this fall and will provide networking and professional development opportunities as well as social events for young professionals who support Legal Aid.
Under the leadership of associates at leading New York law firms, The Legal Aid Society’s Associates’ Campaign raises awareness and vital funds for the Society’s Civil Practice, which depends on private funding to provide legal assistance to the most vulnerable New Yorkers, helping them obtain and maintain the basic necessities of life. Individual gifts raised through this campaign account for nearly one-third of all individual contributions raised for our Civil Practice each year.
The Legal Aid Society ran an ad July 23 in The New York Law Journal thanking the associates and their firms for a successful 2012 Associates' Campaign.
The 2012 Associates’ Campaign officially kicked-off March 26th and ran through June 20th, 2012. Thanks to the hard work of our solicitors and New Leadership Board Members, we were able to increase revenue and participation making it a most successful campaign.
This year’s campaign raised funds from 1,690 associates and other firm members representing 36 New York City firms.
Special thanks to the following firms for their participation in the 2012 Associates’ Campaign:
