40th Anniversary Celebration
– Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Four hundred guests helped Lawyers Alliance celebrate its 40th Anniversary at Gotham Hall in Manhattan.

The evening's program highlighted recent milestones and featured our unique perspective on the role of nonprofit organizations and business and transactional law pro bono. We were fortunate to gather with so many supporters and friends who are instrumental to our unparalleled legal and educational services model and the success of our nonprofit clients.

Reaffirming our commitment to the future of the nonprofit sector of New York City, we recognized the following outstanding partners in public service:

•	Michael Helfer, on behalf of the Legal Department of Citigroup
•	Thomas C. Baxter, Jr. of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
•	Fatima Goldman and the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies
