Law Firm Challenge: Alumni Raise $2 Million for UCLA Law Initiatives

Providing vital support to their alma mater, nearly 1,500 lawyers at approximately 100 firms nationwide participated in the 2020 Law Firm Challenge, raising nearly $2 million for UCLA Law scholarships and programs. The law school thanks all participating firms and alumni, especially the LFC Representatives at each firm who spearheaded the effort, as well as our Dean’s Circle members.

Law Firm Challenge 2021 is currently underway! Gifts between now and June 30, 2021, count toward participation in the 19th annual Law Firm Challenge. You can make your 2021 Law Firm Challenge gift here.

If you and your law firm are not yet participating in the Challenge, we invite you to join us. Please contact Ashley Napper, Associate Director of Leadership Giving at LFC@law.ucla.edu or (310) 206-4116, to enroll your firm or request additional information.
