About the Event
Seattle University School of Law Public Interest Law Foundation (PILF) is known for holding an auction fundraiser and gala annually to raise money for student grants. PILF summer grants support students working unpaid legal positions with public interest law firms such as the King County Bar Association, Northwest Justice Project, and the Unemployment Law Project. 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. With your help, PILF has been able to satisfy all requests for funding for the past two years. We hope you will be a part of this mission and help us reach our goal of satisfying all funding requests or at least 15 grants.
This event will celebrate two important milestones -- the 30th anniversary of the PILF auction and the 50th anniversary of the law school. For 30 years, our community has collectively supported aspiring public interest lawyers and the people they serve. Since 1993, students and generous contributors have gathered for a night of high-spirited company, lively auction games, and sought-after prizes! And for 50 years, the law school has provided access, opportunity, and community for students and alumni. This event will truly recognize transformation across the years.
COVID-19 Precautions
Consistent with King County policies, masks will not be required for guests nor staff during this year's event. We will continue to encourage mutual respect and understanding amongst our auction attendees -- please mask up as you see fit.
As the situation evolves, so will our approach to keeping you safe. We thank you for your patience and flexibility as we manage this and ask that you contact us for accommodations.
