Summer Funding
The Legal Aid and Defender Association (LADA) hosted its summer fundraiser – “An Evening of Wine and Jazz” – at the Castle Hall in Detroit on July 21. “This special event was a celebration of the people and partnerships that make our work possible – from supporters and volunteers to the individuals and families who have trusted LADA during some of life’s most difficult moments,” said Michelle Johnson, president and CEO of the organization that is the oldest provider of free civil legal assistance to low-income residents in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. Pictured (l-r) are Sharon Moore, supervising attorney for the LADA; Michelle Johnson, a product of Wayne State University Law School who has worked at LADA since 2002; and Alec Kanno, operating partner at Prime Concepts Detroit, which counts Castle Hall and Sexy Steak among its holdings.
