Make a Difference at the 18th Annual Public Interest Auction, Feb. 25
The Shepard Broad Law Center will host the 18th Annual Public Interest Auction on Friday, Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. The evening includes both a silent and live auction, as well as food and entertainment.
NSU’s Law Center’s Public Interest Law Society (PILS) is asking businesses, organizations, and individuals to donate goods and services in order to make this auction a success. Each item auctioned will be described and identified by its donor in an auction booklet. Donors may include a business card sized advertisement within the booklet. The donation, as a charitable gift, is tax deductible and receipts describing the nature of the gift along with NSU’s non-profit tax ID number will be given to donors upon request.
You can help by donating an item or making a cash donation. Previously donated items include: tickets to sporting events, autographed memorabilia, concerts, meals at local restaurants, artwork, dinners/outings/golf with professors, bar review courses and a coveted parking faculty parking spot. PILS also welcomes monetary donations which go directly into the Rebecca Knox Public Interest Law Summer Fellowship fund, named in memory of 2004 grad and PILS president Rebecca Knox.
All proceeds from the auction go back into the local community throughtThe Rebecca Knox Summer Public Interest Fellowship, awarded to law students who volunteer with public interest organizations during the summer. Due to budget constraints, most organizations that assist the indigent and poor are understaffed and unable to compensate interns. Funds raised at the auction will enable law students to assist local Legal Aid organizations as they provide quality legal services to those who would otherwise be unable to afford it.
This event is free and open to the public.
