The 59th Harvest Party, co-sponsored by the Houston Bar Association, Houston Bar Association Auxiliary and Houston Bar Foundation, raised a record $514,000.00 in underwriting to benefit the Foundation, the charitable arm of the association. The Foundation supports programs such as the Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program, which provides pro bono legal services to low-income Houstonians.

The event was held November 10 at River Oaks County Club, with over 1,000 HBA members and their guests in attendance. Mark Kelly of Vinson & Elkins LLP, treasurer of the Houston Bar Association, and Debra Tsuchiyama Baker, 2008 chair of the Houston Bar Foundation, served as event co-chairs.

The Houston Bar Foundation is now in its 26th year of service to the legal community and the profession. The Foundation’s primary beneficiary is the Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program, which provides thousands of hours of pro bono legal representation each Year.
