PROJECT WISHLIST
The Student Bar Association (SBA) at the University of Nebraska
College of Law, in conjunction with Heartland Big Brothers Big
Sisters, organizes an annual event called " Project Wishlist"
to provide needy children with holiday gifts (i.e. necessities
such as shoes, winter jackets, clothing, etc.) that their families
otherwise cannot provide.
The SBA is currently
raising money for Project Wishlist. On November 18, 2006, volunteers
from the law college will take the children "shopping"
at Gordman's Department Store. The management at Gordman's has
given us a 15% discount on all items the children purchase during
Project Wishlist.
In 2005, the SBA raised
enough money to provide each of around 30 needy children with
$100 of spending money, all of which the children spent on necessities,
rather than on toys or luxury items.
Donations for 2005's
Project Wishlist are welcome and extremely appreciated in any
amount! The SBA hopes to get information about the project to
as many people as possible; please pass on this information to
co-workers, family, friends and clients. Please send any donations
to:

Nebraska College of Law

spirit and any contributions you are able to make.
