The countdown to the 2026 Associates Campaign & Corporate Counsel Challenge has begun and now is the time for firms and in-house legal teams across Colorado to get organized, get inspired, and get ready to lead.
Every March, the Campaign brings together associates and corporate counsel from across the state for a fast-paced, team-based fundraising challenge benefiting Colorado Legal Services. As this year’s Campaign ramps up, the goal is bold: $550,000 raised in just 31 days to support Coloradans facing critical civil legal issues.
Strong Campaigns start with strong team leadership. Whether your team is returning for another year or considering participation for the first time, early engagement makes all the difference. Firms and legal departments are encouraged to:
– Confirm their participation for 2026
– Identify a Team Representative to coordinate efforts
– Ensure team members are registered and ready
To support teams at every stage, the Legal Aid Foundation is hosting two upcoming events designed to energize participants and provide practical guidance for a successful Campaign.
