Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Law community steps up big on Husky Giving Day

Each spring, Husky Giving Day provides opportunities to support programs and causes people are most passionate about — and this year, the Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Law community came out in force to do just that.
More than 80 donors raised over $41,000 that directly supports public interest at Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Law while creating scholarship opportunities for law students from underrepresented communities.
Over the course of 24 hours, Law Dawgs from across the globe unlocked three gift-matching opportunities — two Law Justice Scholarship challenges and one Public Interest Law Association challenge — while keeping the Âé¶¹ÉçÇø School of Law in the Top 20 units across the Âé¶¹ÉçÇø for participation in all areas of support.
The gift-matching opportunities were provided by some of the law school’s most generous alumni and supporters: The Honorable Bobbe J. Bridge, J.D. ’76, and Jonathan J. Bridge, J.D. ’76; Greg Gorder, J.D. ’85, and Val Gorder; and Kent Carlson, J.D. ’67, and Sandy Carlson, B.A. ’64.
In total, the University of Washington raised more than $2.7 million from more than 6,300 gifts.
Thank you to everyone who gave this Husky Giving Day — and to those who donate their time, mentorship and professional opportunities throughout the year to the next generations of lawyer-leaders.
The impacts law students create every day would not be possible without the incredible generosity and support of the Âé¶¹ÉçÇø Law community year in and year out.
