The 2008 Donate a Day program was a huge success:
Thanks to Bingham McCutchen for hosting and sponsoring the reception that was held on July 28, 2008.
Also thank you to USF Law Review and Moot Court Board for all of their hard work in organizing the event and soliciting donations.
This year's Donate a Day program raised $7,238.00. These funds will go toward grants for students to work in the public interest/public sector.
And finally, a special thanks to two people who really went out of their way to make this event possible:
Abby Nichols - Bingham McCutchen/USF Alumnus
and
Jaime Bodiford - USF Law Review
The Public Interest Law Foundation is a student-run organization at the University of San Francisco School of Law. Members include law students, faculty, alumni/ae, and friends that support and promote the practice of public interest law. PILF's annual fundraising directly supports summer grants for law students who choose unpaid, full-time summer positions at local, national, and international public interest/public sector agencies, organizations, and firms. Our grant awards assist those who have a demonstrated commitment to public interest/public sector law.
Our primary fundraising event, the Gala Auction & Award Ceremony, is one of the largest events at the USF School of Law that brings together students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members to raise money for PILF's grant initiatives. The PILF Auction features items, events, and services donated by local and national businesses, the USF School of Law community, and local law firms for our special event. With a silent auction, very lively live auction conducted by alumnus Richard Pio Roda, hors d'oeuvres, open bar, and band, the Auction is a great time for all!
The 2006 Auction was a great success! Thank you to all of the attendees and supporters!
