The YLD: Brewing For the Greater Good To Benefit the NCBF

The YLD is pleased to announce a new series of events to benefit the North Carolina Bar Foundation. This Bar year, the YLD and NCBF are partnering to host events across North Carolina from the mountains to the coast. These events are an opportunity to bring together area YLD and NCBA members – their family and friends – at local breweries for fun, fellowship and philanthropy.

The YLD has long been the volunteer force behind the Foundation’s pro bono and public service programs. The NC Bar Foundation would like to thank the YLD for their ongoing support and share how the outreach of the YLD is impacting the people and communities of North Carolina. While Brewing for the Greater Good in Wilmington, we would like to spotlight the work we are doing for NC Disaster Legal Services – assisting those impacted by Hurricane Florence; Lawyers for Literacy – a hands-on approach to early childhood reading; and ways the legal profession, collectively, can bolster the Foundation’s impact. There is great work happening – and more to be done.

Take time out of your day to relax and unwind with the YLD: Brewing for the Greater Good to benefit the NCBF.

YLD: Brewing for the Greater Good to benefit the NCBF will be on tap in a city near you. Please look for more information regarding events in Asheville, Charlotte and Greensboro.
