Despite the summer heat, The Pro Bono Project has been keeping busy and our supporters have been out in force supporting our organization and its mission to provide free civil legal aid to under-served members of our community.
On June 6, 2019, the New Orleans Bar Foundation and the Young Lawyers Section hosted the annual Pro-Bowl-O Benefit to raise funds for The Project. Fulton Alley provided the backdrop for this friendly competition among the participating firms. Thank you to the teams and sponsors who participated in this incredible event and to the New Orleans Bar Association for its continued support.
