Planning for the 2026 Associates Campaign is underway—and we’re launching a new challenge!

The Legal Aid Foundation of Colorado’s Associates Campaign is gearing up for 2026. Each year, this statewide tradition rallies legal professionals to support Colorado Legal Services, our state’s primary provider of civil legal aid for low-income Coloradans. Planning is in full swing, and we’d love to have you and your firm involved.

This year, we’re excited to announce a new addition to the campaign: the Corporate Counsel Challenge.

With this Challenge, we’re turning up the heat by inviting In-House legal departments to join the fun through a friendly, impact-driven competition. It’s a chance for corporate counsel teams to showcase generosity, spirit, and leadership while advancing equal access to justice.

Teams will compete in three categories:

• 100% Corporate Counsel Participation
• Highest Total Revenue Raised
• Highest Per Capita Corporate Counsel Donation 

The Challenge will be live throughout the Associates Campaign, March 1–31, 2026. We encourage teams to register by February 1 to hit the ground running. Corporate counsel leaders: accept the Challenge and rally your department! Your participation powers legal help for thousands of neighbors across Colorado. 

Reach out to Jessie Clark-Daugherty to plug in, ask questions, or raise your hand to captain a team. 

Together, we can amplify the associates’ energy, engage In-House teams across the state, and make a real difference for Coloradans seeking civil legal assistance. Let’s get this campaign rolling!
