Affinity Bar Challenge taking place March 19
The 2025 Affinity Bar Charity Challenge will take place Wednesday, March 19, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Platform, 34300 Woodward Ave., Ste. 200, in Birmingham, for a fun night of giving back.
The Oakland County Bar Association, Women’s Bar Association (Oakland County region of Women Lawyers Association of Michigan), Jewish Bar Association of Michigan, D. Augustus Straker Bar Association, South Asian Bar Association of Michigan, Chaldean American Bar Association, and Women Lawyers Association of Michigan-Macomb Region will all take part in the challenge.
Each partner bar association is representing a charity. Attendees will vote for their favorite bar association by donating cash “tips” to the association’s “tip jar” of their choice. All tips will go to the charities selected by each respective bar association.
The bar association that receives the most tips will win the challenge and receive an additional donation to its charity. All net proceeds from the event will also be split between all of the charities. The OCBA’s charity is HAVEN of Oakland County.
Tickets cost $50 for members of any partner organization, $75 for non-members, and $30 for law students. To register, visit www.ocba.org and click on “events.”
