Walk Update, May 2024
4 Days until the Queensland Legal Walk!
Rafa “the Miniature Schnauzer” Denholder joins the Walk
Here’s a photo of me with Lady Justice and my human at the 2022 Walk. #WoofForJustice” Rafa is aiming to raise $5,000 and you can help him achieve that dream at www.qldlegalwalk.org.au/fundraising/rafadenholder
Prizes in store for teams of all sizes
As well as trophies for the top fundraising firm, chambers, law school and individual, this year there are prizes (and glory) in store for all teams that reach $1,000, with the prize pack increasing for totals of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000. Meanwhile, the team at Clayton Utz has been busy fundraising in the office. Clayton Utz partner Majella Pollard says:
“Each year at Clayton Utz, we look forward to supporting the Queensland Legal Walk and the important fundraising it provides for LawRight’s invaluable community services and self-representation clinics. This year Clayton Utz is aiming to raise over $10,000. The whole office gets behind this annual fundraising activity through sponsorship, firm-wide fundraising lunches, and a firm-wide raffle – with some very generous prize donations from Clayton Utz Partners and a community donor, Bellezza Group. Many of us are looking forward to walking on Tuesday morning in sunshine or rain!”
Meet the teams Walking above their Weight
