Give a Day Pledge Week at Cassels Brock!
On Monday, Give A Day pledge week began with a “pop” as the delicious smell of fresh buttery popcorn filled the hallways of Cassels Brock. All of our articling students took a break from their due diligence and drafting assignments and joined the Give A Day team in the staff lounge to help pop and fill 500 cups of popcorn.
The response from the firm was amazing – pledge forms rolled in and everyone enjoyed their afternoon snack. Campaign representatives were also available to answer any questions that people might have about the Give A Day Campaign.
Our next event was a “Book Sale with Free Eats” on Wednesday afternoon. We received over 35 boxes of donations which were filled with all kinds of books, magazines, CDs and DVDs. During the sale, we played Give A Day’s informational DVD on a large screen and treated our shoppers to fruit, cheese, crackers and desserts.
Now that it is getting close to the end of pledge week, our group is busy baking 500 chocolate-chip cookies to distribute on Friday as a big “thank you” for participating in the Give A Day Campaign. We expect to receive plenty of donations over the next two days and look forward to tallying the grand total at the end of the week.

Give a Night a Big Success!
On Thursday November 27th 2008 articling students from several law firms in Toronto hosted “Give a Night”, a cocktail party and silent auction in support of the Give a Day campaign. The event took place at C Lounge. Over 500 people attended, 34 silent auction items were sold and in the end the event raised over $13,000!
The evening started at 7 pm with representatives from The Stephen Lewis Foundation and Dignitas International in attendance to provide information and answer attendees’ questions. Light hors d’oeuvres were served and a DJ performed through out the night. The silent auction was open from 7pm until 10pm at which point the party began.
