Celebrity Bartending

Celebrity Bartending Fundraiser

For fifteen years, the Hampden County Legal Clinic (HCLC), an award-winning, nationally recognized pro bono program of the Hampden County Bar Association and the Hampden County Bar Foundation, has provided free legal advice and law-related services to the underserved in Hampden County and the surrounding communities. The HCLC supports individuals unable to afford a lawyer to access justice in complex civil issues, like housing and family law, where, despite the immense need, there is no "right" to an attorney.

The HCLC will be hosting our annual Celebrity Bartending fundraiser to support the HCLC on Thursday, October 15, 2026, from 4:30 - 8:30 pm at Fame Lounge, 386 Dwight St, Holyoke, Massachusetts. Last year, the fundraiser raised $8,600 for the legal clinic and its programs.
