The Houston Bar Association recently announced that the 67th Annual Harvest Celebration -the largest fundraising event of the Houston legal community – raised $725,250 to support pro bono legal services for low-income Houstonians.
The HBA sponsors the Harvest Celebration with the Houston Bar Foundation and Houston Bar Association Auxiliary.
The Harvest Celebration supports the Houston Volunteer Lawyer, a project of the HBA that provides pro bono legal services for veterans, the elderly, those with disabilities, and other low-income residents with family law, consumer law, probate and other legal matters.
Since the Harvest Celebration was designated as a fundraiser 17 years ago, it has raised more than $6.75 million for pro bono legal services in Harris County, according to a press release from the HBA.
