2022 Golden Gavel Celebration

On November 17, 2022, we welcomed over 300 legal aid partners, business leaders, sponsors, and supporters to celebrate our mission of access to justice.

The 2022 Golden Gavel was a tremendous success raising more than a half a million dollars for CARPLS programing. It was a joy to be together, and we were blown away by the support of our community.

For nearly 30 years, CARPLS has offered free legal assistance to Cook County’s most underserved residents. CARPLS breaks down the barriers to justice low- and moderate-income individuals commonly face, while alleviating the anxiety and stress often associated with legal problems. As a result, people move their lives forward and advocate for themselves and their communities.Thank you again for your generous support. Together, we will continue to make a difference in the lives of more than 80,000 people in Cook County every year, providing critical access to legal justice.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored and joined the event, for your support, and we hope to see you later this year!
