The proceeds will benefit the Children's Law Project, Hampden County Legal Clinic (HCLC), Archer B. Battista Veterans Scholarship, John F. Moriarty Scholarship, and the David A. Ladizki Scholarship.

The Children's Law Project program recognizes that children suffer emotionally, mentally and event financially when their parents engage in contested court proceedings. Through this program, attorneys are appointed to represent the children involved in contested custody and visitation matters pending in Hampden County Probate and Family Court. The child is the attorney's client, and the attorney voices the child's position when parents or guardians cannot agree on what is best for the child.

The HCLC offers a variety of services along the continuum of legal support. Our programs offer brief legal advice, assistance in filling out forms, limited assistance representation in court, conciliation, and more.

The Colonel Archer B. Battista Veterans Scholarship is used to financially assist veterans and active members of the military who are attending law school. The John F. Moriarty Scholarship and the David A. Ladizki Scholarship are awarded to
Hampden & Hampshire County residents attending law school. Please click here for
