Legal Aid’s Hat Trick

More than 60 lawyers joined Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty (R) last winter in a hockey exhibition to raise awareness and support for LSC-funded Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services. The second annual “Lawyers on Ice” event was a puck-whacking success, bringing together attorneys from throughout the county for a four-game tournament. Minnesota State Rep. Tom Pugh and former Minnesota Bar Association President Kent Gernander joined Pawlenty on the ice. The event was not technically a fundraiser, but organizers “passed around the hat” and netted more than $5,000 in voluntary contributions from attendees.
