UNC School of Law's Carolina Public Interest Law Organization
(C-PILO) will host its annual Auction and Benefit at Top of the Hill
on Thursday, Jan. 31, from 7 until 11 p.m. All of the proceeds from the
event go directly to fund UNC School of Law students accepting
full-time, unpaid public interest law positions for the summer. In the
past, the event has raised nearly $20,000 to help fund 18 students'
public-interest internships.
Carolina Law students, faculty, staff and alumni are invited to attend this popular event,
which also supports local small businesses that donated many of the
auction items. UNC sports memorabilia, vacation homes, shopping parties,
wine tastings, art, ski passes and more than a hundred other items and
services will be up for auction. The benefit will feature silent and
live auctions, comedians, live music and heavy hors d'oeuvres, catered
by Top of the Hill. Tickets cost $12 in advance or $15 at the door and
cover admission and the cost of food.
For more information about the event, contact C-PILO President, Zachary Kohn at zkohn@live.unc.edu or 301.385.2560.
