Over the past year, children and families across DC have faced extraordinary hardships disrupting their daily lives. The effects of the pandemic have hit the District’s Black and Brown, low-income and immigrant families the hardest, revealing how much work lies ahead of us in addressing inequity within the community.  
 
But during this critical time, our partner firms and corporations have gone above and beyond supporting Children’s Law Center and raising critical funds to help kids through the annual Champions for Children campaign.  
 
Now, the results of our 2020 Champions for Children competition are in –and we’re excited to congratulate four exceptionally committed firms! 
 
 
Champions for Children is an annual fundraising competition directed by Children's Law Center's Advisory Board. 
 
During the past year, our team worked with many law firms and corporations to ensure DC kids could continue to access the healthy housing, special education services and behavioral health supports they need – supports the ongoing pandemic has made particularly challenging. Despite the difficulties of 2020, four firms especially shone in their devotion to Children’s Law Center’s mission through their extraordinary fundraising efforts.  
 
Their remarkable generosity and engagement with Children’s Law Center stood out among the competition: 


Champion for Children – 250+ Attorneys in the DC Office 

Champion for Children – 100 to 249 Attorneys in the DC Office 
Champion for Children – 1 to 99 Attorneys in the DC Office
Corporate Champion 
 
We are even more appreciative of each firm and corporation's dedication, knowing just how challenging this past year has been on everyone. With their support, the Champions for Children campaign continued to raise critical funds for kids, allowing Children's Law Center to reach 1 out of every 9 children in the District’s poorest neighborhoods.  
 
Are YOU our next Champion for Children?
