Repost: Oct. 22 – National Pro Bono Week Fundraiser

On Friday, October 22, 2010 as part of National Pro Bono week, the School of Law will sponsor a fundraising event here at the Law School. The money raised will go to  Community Legal Aid. As you know, that organization services a multi-county area in Northeast Ohio, representing civil litigants who otherwise would not have access to counsel.

We will offer hamburgers and hotdogs beginning at 5 p.m. outside the School in the grassy and paved areas outside West Hall or in the lobby in the event of inclement weather. Cost will be $4.00 per plate.  We will also have a cornhole tournament pitting student teams against faculty teams at a cost of $5.00 per person. The winners will receive tokens of appreciation. Finally, there will be an inflatable game( a jousting pit) where students may attempt to best selected faculty members. Cost for that will be $5.00 per student per try.

We already have numerous members of the faculty, staff, and administration signed up to cook, play cornhole and/or joust with you. The faculty members are confident that they will prevail in both the jousting  and the cornhole tournament.

This is a worthy cause and will be promoted nationwide and locally.
