The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
Calling all fans of Jeopardy! and Trivial Pursuit to support a good cause while showing off your trivial knowledge --
Join us to support the Capital Area Food Bank's 2025 Food From The Bar campaign at a Trivia Night fundraiser.
Trivia will start at 6 PM. There will be three rounds, with 15 minutes between each. In addition to the challenging trivia, there will be light snacks and drinks -- and the company of similarly charitable and potentially competitive attorneys, paralegals, support staff, and coworkers.
Food From The Bar is the legal community’s annual response to hunger in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region. Food From The Bar supports the Capital Area Food Bank, which assists 1.5 million DMV residents who experience food insecurity each year. With significant government layoffs this year, the Capital Area Food Bank anticipates a much greater need as more people will be affected by food insecurity. Click here to donate to the Food From The Bar campaign. (Recommended donation: $25-$50.)
Everyone is welcome - attorneys in private practice and working for the government, in-house counsel and those in-transition, as well as paralegals and support staff, and coworkers.
