Pro Bono Partnership is able to provide essential, free legal services to nonprofits in the tristate area because of our wonderful volunteer attorneys. So, it was with great pleasure that we celebrated in
New York on April 19, in New Jersey on April 28, and in Hartford, CT last Thursday at our final regional Volunteers of the Year event, and I wanted to share some photos and highlights.
If you were able to attend, thank you! If you couldn’t attend, perhaps you can imagine the celebration virtually via photos on our Facebook page. While you’re there, please “LIKE” our page!
Thank you to our sponsors, Jackson Lewis P.C., Real Art Ways, and United Technologies, Pratt & Whitney for helping us orchestrate unique and wonderful events that truly reflected the appreciation we have for all of our volunteer attorneys and the nonprofit clients they so ably assisted in 2016.
