Our chapter has only been participating in the community challenge for a short time but we have found it to be a useful and worthwhile endeavor. We look forward to finding new organizations to help each year.

     In 2001 we collected used eyeglasses and donated them to the Lions Club of Toledo.

     In 2002 our chapter members raised money for Gifts for Teens. Candy and granola bars were sold within our law firms and at several local businesses. With the money raised, the chapter purchased walkmans, radios, cd players and other music related items.

    In 2003 our chapter members once again raised money for Gifts for Teens.  With candy bar sales and donations within our law firms our chapter gave a monetary donation to the Lucas County Children's Services Gifts for Teens.

    In 2005 our chapter members donated money and partnered with the Toledo Bar Association to help build a home for Habitat for Humanity.

    In 2006 our chapter members and vendor sponsors donated their time to assist the March of Dimes in their annual Signature Chef's Event.  The event raised over $30,000 with it's silent and live auctions!

    In 2007 our chapter members and vendor sponsors donated money and partnered with the Toledo Bar Association to help build a home for Habitat for Humanity.

    In 2008 our chapter members volunteered their time working at the 2008 March of Dimes Chef's Event.  This event raised over $80,000 for premature babies for assistance to families for preventative care and post delivery assistance.  Additionally our chapter donated money to the Association of Legal Administrators Smile Train Project and gave money to the American Red Cross for hurricane relief for the southern United States.
