Endowment Holds Successful Fundraisers at Southeast Workshop
|
| During ABI’s Southeast Bankruptcy Workshop, which took place July 21-24 at the ever-popular Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island in Amelia Island, Fla., the Endowment held two successful fundraising events: a tequila-tasting and a silent auction. Thanks go to Steve Berman and Shumaker, Loop, Kendrick, LLP, Don Workman and BakerHostetler, and J. Walter Newman of Newman & Newman for sponsoring the tequila-tasting, which was the perfect way to wrap up Friday’s activities. Thanks also go to everyone who participated in the silent auction; both events combined raised more
than $12,000 for the Endowment. |
