On December 2, The Connecticut Bar Association’s (CBA) Young Lawyers Section (YLS) joined together with the Connecticut Society of Certified Public Accountants (CTCPA) to host a new collaborative Day of Giving benefiting Connecticut Foodshare and the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.
Throughout November members of the YLS and CTCPA were invited to contribute online monetary donations to CT Foodshare and organize donation collections of new toys at their firms for CT Children’s Medical Center. On the morning of the day of the event, volunteers from YLS and CTCPA collected the donated toys at a drive-through drop-off station located at ADNET Technologies offices in Rocky Hill. The collaborative event resulted in $13,085 raised for CT Foodshare and nearly 1,000 new toys collected for patients at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, providing critical support to families in need during the holiday season.
“Despite the snow and rain, Young Lawyers Section Executive Committee (YLS EC) members Kevin Brignole, Maxélle Neufville, Jacqueline Bashaw Fairweather and Olivia Benson withstood the weather with me to make this event a success,” stated CBA YLS Chair Paige M. Vaillancourt. “YLS EC member Anne Nye was instrumental in setting up this collaboration with the CTCPAs, which we plan to make an annual event going forward.”
This event highlighted the CBA Young Lawyers Section’s ongoing commitment to service and collaboration and provided a unique opportunity for YLS members to connect with young professionals from other disciplines.
