Lisa A. Frisch, Executive Director

Thank you for donating to our Spring Appeal Fundraiser

As you know, we received a matching pledge of $50,000 received from Martin, Harding and Mazotti law firm, Liza’s Legacy Foundation, the Sidney and Beatrice Albert Foundation and the Sherry and Barry Gold Donor Advised Fund of the Community Foundation, doubling the donations we receive for 2007. We wanted to acknowledge those who contributed to this Spring Appeal and again thank those who helped us during the Winter Appeal. These funds are so important in providing us with unrestricted support for our domestic violence program, which otherwise is funded primarily from grants. We greatly appreciate your generosity and the wonderful support we receive from this community!

Please Join us at the Track in Saratoga!

You can print off this flyer to sign up to join your friends and colleagues at CDWBA, the Adirondack Women’s Bar Association and The Legal Project for a day at the Carousel Restaurant at the Track on Thursday, July 26th, the first week of the season! For a ticket price of $65 you get to hang out for the day at a table at the Carousel, enjoy a delectable buffet lunch, and admission to the Clubhouse. As an added bonus, there will be a race named for The Legal Project! So plan to spend the day relaxing and hopefully making some successful bets and having fun with friends at the Track! Email Lisa at lfrisch@legalproject.org if you have any questions or want to reserve a ticket, as space is limited.


Win a Luxury Car or Other Wonderful Prizes

Keeler Motor Car is generously donating a two year lease on a Mercedes CLK Cabriolet Convertible or a BMW 328 xi or $10,000 Cash as the Grand Prize in a Raffle to support the Domestic Violence Legal Connection at The Legal Project! Imagine yourself driving down the road in one of these babies! Or using the cash to take a much needed vacation! The 1st Prize is also fabulous—a 50 inch flatscreen Plasmavision TV donated by SymmetryAV! And there’s a second prize—a wonderful $500 gift certificate from Stuyvesant Plaza just in time for holiday shopping! Only 500 tickets will be sold, so your odds are way better than all those lottery tickets you buy when you are getting a quart of milk at the store. The drawing will be held at our 12th Annual Pro Bono Reception at the NYS Terrace Gallery on October 25, 2007, so though you don’t have to be present to win, think how much fun it would be to be there when your name is read by Lydia Kulbida from Channel 13, who will be pulling the names for the drawing! The cars will be on display at Stuyvesant Plaza in front of Jean Paul and Coconuts from August 15 through October 15th, and tickets can be purchased at The Legal Project, through members of the CDWBA Board or right at Stuyvesant Plaza at the new Information Kiosk. Tickets are only $100 each and support a great cause!! Please contact Lisa for more information at lfrisch@legalproject.org or 435-1988.
