Justice For All Ball Canceled
The Pro Bono Project has made the difficult decision to cancel our annual fundraiser, theJustice For All Ball, previously scheduled for Friday, September 17, 2021. This was not an easy decision as our supporters have been looking forward to an in-person event since last fall. However, our Board of Directors and staff know this is the right decision to make given the ongoing public health impact of the pandemic. The safety of our attendees and the community is our priority.
For thirty-three years the Justice For All Ball has been the premier social event in the legal community, drawing hundreds of lawyers, judges, and private citizens together for an evening of fine food, spirits, and live music.It is a celebration of what makes our community strong and unique – our creativity, civic pride, and resilience.

Volunteer Appreciation Awards
Every year, The Pro Bono Project honors lawyers, law firms, students, businesses, and members of the judiciary who have provided, improved, and excelled in the delivery of volunteer legal services. These services are of critical importance to the increasing number of people in our area. We host our annual Volunteer Appreciations Event to show our deep appreciation for those who support our mission to improve access to justice in our community. Due to the ongoing pandemic, we will host our Volunteer Appreciation Event virtually during the 2020 National Celebration of Pro Bono (October 25-31).
We wish to thank all our volunteers for all the hard work the put into helping the community, especially in such a chaotic year. We could not help all the community members that we do without their support, time, and effort.
Remarks by each recipient were recorded and can be found on The Pro Bono Project's You Tube Channel.
Pro Bono Publico - For the Public Good
The Pro Bono Project's mission is to provide free, quality civil legal services to the under-served members of our community. By engaging volunteer attorneys, paralegals, law students, and private citizens to render pro bono services, The Pro Bono Project serves clients who otherwise might not have access to the civil legal help they need. Our work today is as important as any time in our thirty-four year history.
The Pro Bono Project is appalled by the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Rayshard Brooks. These terrible losses along with other victims of prejudice, brutality, and hate are unacceptable in this country. We grieve these losses, the violence against peaceful protesters, and the inequities experienced day after day.
The Pro Bono Project reaffirms its commitment to provide civil legal justice through volunteer assistance. Through our work, we can effect change and bring about social justice and equitable legal representation. We demand that we do better and strongly encourage the legal community to join us in ensuring equal justice.
