Austin Bar/Habitat Partnership Underway -
Still Need Your Help!
The Austin Bar Foundation/Habitat For Humanity's 2013 Legal Build "All-In" fundraising drive has received a tremendous initial response, raising more than $24,000 in the last month!
Thanks to the many people who have donated! Special thanks to Cantilo & Bennett and Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas - our largest donors to date!
However, with a total of $65,000 needed to build this year's home for Miguel and Joyce Ruiz, we still need your help! The first wall was raised three weeks ago, and the building process is going strong!
We still need to raise just over $20,000! If every Austin Bar member donates just $15, we will easily meet our goal. Visit https://austinbar.webconnex.com/legalbuild to make your contribution now!
To volunteer with the build, please contact Jessica Mangrum at JMangrum@thompsoncoe.com.
