About the Event 

PILF summer grants support students working unpaid legal positions with public interest law firms such as Columbia Legal Services, Northwest Health Law Advocates, and the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington. Without a summer grant, these experiential learning opportunities would not otherwise be possible for many students. In turn, student work helps expand capacity at public interest organizations. We hope you will be a part of this mission and help us reach our goal of funding 15 grants!

 

This year's event will feature both an in-person live auction, as well as an online silent auction. This is a great opportunity for both event attendees and virtual guests to support PILF. With the purchase of a table or ticket, you and your guests will be emailed and texted your personal bidding links when the silent online auction opens for bidding on February 25. Silent auction bidding will close at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 4. Can’t make the live event? You can still support PILF by participating in the silent online auction by clicking the link below.
