2007 is now officially in the rear view mirror and we’re fully focused on making even greater strides in the New Year. But before we get too far into 2008, we thought it was worth reflecting on what we’ve accomplished together over the past year and the even greater possibilities that lie ahead.

 

2007 was another pretty amazing year for the CBF thanks to the incredible commitment and strong support of Chicago's legal community. Building on our successes of 2006 and the steady progress we’ve been making together for many years before that, this was a truly transformative year for the CBF that made it possible for tens of thousands of the most vulnerable Chicagoans to get the legal help necessary to protect them. Because of you, we’ve also been able to make lasting improvements throughout the larger pro bono and legal aid delivery system that set the stage for many more people in need to be helped in the future.

 

For more details about the many successful initiatives of the past year, please

Come out to North Beach Chicago and join in all of the fun and games at the Eighth Annual ALA & CBF

 

Every year, members of Chicago’s legal community come together for a night of fun and relaxation while participating in or just watching the many competitive individual and team events (both athletic and non-athletic). Winners of each “challenge” direct prize grants to one of more than 40 CBF-supported legal aid and public interest law organizations. 

 

From Basketball to Bowling to Sumo Wrestling and Mechanical Bull Riding, there’s something for everyone. As Rob Acton from Cabrini Green Legal Aid said, “This is the most fun I’ve ever had raising money.”
