The JFAB serves as one avenue through which The Pro Bono Project raises funds to enable people to rebuild their lives and this community. So often, many of The Project's clients don't have the resources, or even understand that the problem they have requires a legal solution. That's where The Project makes a difference by matching private bar attorneys pro bono with clients in need. Without The Project, so many of the legal issues that continue to impede the return of citizens and the rebuilding of the metro area will continue to be unresolved.
This year's Justice For All Ball (JFAB) will feature Big Sam's Funky Nation (http://www.bigsamsfunkynation.com/) entertaining patrons with urban funk guaranteed to have them raising the roof off the Audubon Tea Room. Food and beverages will be provided by more than 20 area restaurants, as well as the Audubon Tea Room. Raffle items from the area's retail and service businesses, along with a special art and travel silent and live auction will provide patrons with other ways to financially support The Pro Bono Project. Artist Robert Guthrie (http://www.robertguthrie.com/) is creating this year's invitation art. His original artwork will be the centerpiece of the live auction.
Tickets are $150 in advance, $175 at the door, young attorneys, $100 advance/$125 at the door and students $75 advance/$100 ; raffle tickets are $5 each. Ticket packages and corporate sponsorships are also available. All proceeds from corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, the raffle, the live and silent auction will benefit The Pro Bono Project. To purchase advance tickets online: at JFAB Tickets or call the JFAB Hotline at: 504.581.3480.
