Dear Legal Professional:
On behalf of the Akron Bar Association and the Akron Bar Foundation, I want to express gratitude for your generous support in years past. It is my hope that you can extend that generosity this year and become an annual sponsor.
The Akron Bar Association, through education, advocacy and community service, empowers its members to reflect the highest professional standards, enabling them to earn the community’s utmost respect so our legal system will be recognized as fair, accessible and just. This mission statement embodies what we as an Association and Foundation strive to do within our community.
The Akron Bar Foundation, the charitable arm of the Akron Bar Association, strives to improve the quality of justice and improve the image of lawyers through the support of law-related and public service programs primarily directed to the Akron metropolitan area. In 2022, the Foundation gave out over $100,000. We gave $40,500 in scholarships to assist law students from the Akron area and $65,270.00 in grants to 14 different community entities, such Summit County Justice Advocacy Program, VALID Driver's License Clinics, Battered Women’s Shelter, and Victim Assistance Program.
Please consider sponsoring one or more of our 2023 events as an annual sponsor. Our mission and goal of giving back to the community and honoring exemplary legal professionals cannot be reached without your generous support. You will find an enclosed list of potential sponsorship and advertising opportunities for your business. This packet is designed to explain those opportunities and reduce the number of times you will be asked to sponsor or advertise during the year. If you do not find an amount or event that suits your needs, please contact me, and we can tailor an annual sponsorship for you.
Thank you for your continued support of the Akron Bar Association and the Akron Bar Foundation.
Best Regards,
Deb Poland
