May 18, 2016 - Mark Pennow, president of the Wisconsin Law Foundation, asks that you consider a gift in support of the Wisconsin Law Foundation's programs when you return your State Bar of Wisconsin dues statement by July 1.
Any level of contribution is gratefully appreciated.
"Your support goes directly toward vital state-wide programs," says Pennow.
These programs include:
It's easy to give: just add your contribution to line 9 on your State Bar dues statement. If a colleague fills out your form for you, just let them know you wish to make a contribution to the Wisconsin Law Foundation.
If you have already sent in your dues statement, you may also donate online.
"Thank you for your consideration and support," says Pennow.
