Description

LAOC casual outdoor fundraiser at Mayo Civic Center Plaza with live music, cash bar, harvest dinner bowl, and silent & live auctions. Legal Assistance of Olmsted County’s annual fundraiser will be held outdoors this year at the Mayo Civic Center Plaza on Saturday, October 9, 2021! Join us anytime between 4 and 8 pm for a fun-filled evening outside on the beautiful Plaza at the Mayo Civic Center where you can enjoy the company of friends and colleagues, enjoy a made-to-order healthy harvest dinner bowl (GF and vegetarian options available) and drinks at the cash bar, listen to an amazing band, dance under the stars, and support LAOC by bidding on silent and live auction items. (Dinner will be served from 4-7 pm.) Please join us out on the plaza for a fun, casual, outdoor event and help us raise funds for our low-income neighbors who need civil legal aid. Why should you come? Besides the great food and music? Because civil legal aid makes a difference in this community. LAOC provides direct representation in the areas of family law, domestic violence law and housing law. It also has a robust volunteer attorney program that provides 13 different types of no-cost legal clinics, such as a legal clinic for the Women's Shelter clients and a legal clinic for low income seniors. It provides your friends, your neighbors and your co-workers who are disadvantaged because of poverty or disability with an equitable voice in the legal system. It helps the legal system process cases in a more efficient and effective manner. All of this benefits the entire community. Legal Assistance of Olmsted County improves legal outcomes and stability for families and individuals living in poverty. And now due to the pandemic and its economic consequences, the demand for civil legal aid has never been so high. Individual tickets are $75. Sponsorships with complimentary tickets are available at several levels. Sponsors will be acknowledged at the fundraiser and on LAOC's website. Please consider a sponsorship at any level. Your support makes an enormous difference in stabilizing families in this community. Last year, Legal Assistance of Olmsted County provided legal aid through direct representation, the Volunteer Attorney Program and clinics to 1,000 individuals. Your support at this year’s fundraiser ensures that our services will continue. Legal Assistance of Olmsted County is 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides free civil legal services to low-income people in Olmsted County.
