For associates at law firms throughout Colorado, March marks the 17th year of the Legal Aid Foundation’s (LAF) Associates Campaign, a month-long friendly fundraising competition. Aptly named — it is both run by associates and driven by associate donations — the Associates Campaign raises money for Colorado Legal Services (CLS), Colorado’s only statewide provider of civil legal services for low-income people and vulnerable populations. Last year, 65 firms participated and raised $228,080 from 1,175 individual donors.
