Spring4Justice
Spring4Justice is a week-long peer-to-peer fundraising and awareness building campaign designed to further the Clinic's work and mission. The event is fun for the whole family and challenges participating teams to get outside, get active, and do justice - all while sharing about the Clinic with their networks via social media, emails, and conversations. Teams will manage their own user-friendly fundraising pages, competing for prizes to raise the most support for the Clinic's free legal services. Through Spring4Justice, more members of the community will learn why access to justice matters, and we will be able to serve more low-income neighbors together.
