This springmarks the 16th annual CBF Investing in Justice Campaign, a commu nity-wide e ff ort through which thousands of attorneys and legal professionals at more than 150 participating law fi rms, corporations, and other law-related organizations in the Chicago area come together around our profession’s common cause: ensuring that everyone has access to necessary legal help, not just people who can a ff ord it. Each year, the CBF dedicates 100% of individual Campaign contributions toward the direct support of more than 30 pro bono and legal aid organizations and related initiatives, which hasmade possiblemore than $700,000 in additional funding from the CBF’s foundation and government partners. Since 2007, the Campaign has raised more than $18 million to support these critical services, and that has leveraged millions more in additional funding for this work. While we all have important roles to play as individuals, and we all support a wide variety of worthy causes, the Campaign is our opportunity to come together as a legal community and to help ensure that all Chicagoans have equal access to our justice system. Through the Campaign, we canmake the collective impact that none of us could on our own, and together, we can help build a stronger, fairer, and more just community for all of us. The CBA again is one of the organizations participating in the Campaign. We encourage all CBA members to contribute at chicagobarfoundation.org/ campaign.
