Benchmark Institute Celebrations
Our Celebrations serve several purposes. One is to
diversify our funding by increasing individual giving and seeking corporate
support for our work. Another key reason -- one close to the heart -- is
to honor individuals for their training, teaching and mentoring work in the
ongoing quest to eliminate poverty and injustice. Teaching and guiding people to
do excellent work is as integral to achieving our goals as is doing the work.
Yet, it often goes unrecognized. We come together to celebrate their
contributions and acknowledge their impact on the quality and quantity of legal
services for low-income people.
Our Celebrations bring together folks who have participated
in our training events -- participants, trainers, and the creative souls who
have played witnesses and jurors in our simulations as well as family, friends,
supporters and members of our client communities. These Celebrations are a way
to refuel and connect with our greater community, to reaffirm our commitment to
justice and -- of course -- to have a very good time.
Please, consider joining us at our next Celebration for
inspiration and delight.
We promise that you'll leave with much more than you came
with.
