Thank you to our generous donors and partners for supporting the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center’s 2023 Presidents Reception! Last Thursday, June 22 at the Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel, we celebrated the dedicated volunteers and partners who helped provide legal services to thousands of our neighbors at a time of unprecedented need. We welcomed D.C. Bar President Charles R. Lowery, Jr., thanked you for giving back, and shared the impact of your support.
Whether or not you were able to join us, we deeply appreciate your support. With your help, the Presidents Reception raised $1,015,000 to support the Pro Bono Center’s clinics, resource centers, and other programs in the coming year. Thanks to you, the Pro Bono Center will continue to help thousands of our neighbors avoid eviction, apply for public benefits, rebuild their families, and more. We will strengthen hundreds of small businesses that keep D.C. neighborhoods vibrant and support hundreds of nonprofits that serve residents in need.
