Legal Help For People In Need

From the Montgomery Bar Association:

NORRISTOWN - Earlier this summer, the Montgomery Bar Association held its annual Legal Aid Golf Classic at Bellewood Country Club in North Coventry, PA.

With matching funds from the MBA and Montgomery Bar Foundation, the event netted an amazing $38,000 for Legal Aid of Southeast Pennsylvania.

The annual day-long golf outing is held jointly by the MBA and MBF to raise awareness and funds for LASP – a nonprofit organization that provides pro bono legal representation and assistance to low-income and vulnerable people in Montgomery County and neighboring counties.

The MBA would like to give a special thanks to the law firm of Kane, Pugh, Knoell, Troy and Kramer for their generous role as presenting sponsor and to all of the golfers, donors and sponsors who made this event possible.
