Illinois Bar Foundation to Honor State Representative in Kane County

The Fellows of the Illinois Bar Foundation (IBF) will honor state Rep. Steven Andersson, a partner at Mickey, Wilson, Weiler, Renzi and Andersson, P.C., during a Kane County Fellows reception Jan. 22 at Riverside Receptions, 35 N. River Lane, Geneva, Illinois.

Tickets are $40 per person and can be purchased online.  

Created in 1983, the Fellows program consists of a special group of lawyers and Foundation supporters who have committed, by direct payment or pledge over ten years, sums of money ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 to support the mission of the IBF.

The IBF raises funds for distribution to Illinois nonprofit organizations whose mission is to provide free legal services to those with limited means. It also provides assistance to lawyers who can no longer support themselves due to incapacity. The IBF also oversees the Illinois JusticeCorps program, which provides trained part-time student volunteers to serve as guides in courthouses. This year, the IBF will distribute more than $880,000 in funds.

The Illinois Bar Foundation is located at 20 S. Clark St., Suite 910, Chicago, IL  60603. Call (312) 726-6072 or visit www.illinoisbarfoundation.org.
