FJA Wine Reception

100% of the Proceeds Went to Support JALA in Jacksonville

Last month marked the successful return of our 15th Annual Jacksonville Wine Reception, benefiting Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, Inc. (JALA). Thanks to your generous support, we were able to surpass our JALA Wine Reception fundraising goal this year and raised a record $36,150!

JALA assists low-income local community members experiencing civil legal issues. With only 30 attorneys and a 30-year history of providing high-quality legal presentations in a variety of service areas, JALA is an integral part of the Jacksonville legal community.

We are also excited to recognize Bryan S. Gowdy for his “readiness to defend justice,” and congratulate him on receiving this year’s Spartan at Thermopylae award.

“We greatly appreciate the Jacksonville Justice Association (JJA) and FJA teaming up again for a great event! This year, the JJA directed the proceeds to our Freed to Run effort, which supports JALA’s Northeast Florida Medical Legal Partnership at Wolfson Children’s Hospital. Thanks to the Baptist Foundation, donations are matched at 125% and help us provide services to these pediatric patients and their families. Northeast Florida is home to some of the best trial lawyers in the country, and JALA thanks all of our friends at the FJA and JJA!”– Jim Kowalski, President, CEO of Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, Inc.
