Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association holiday party raises money for domestic violence victims
The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (BWBA) held its annual holiday party on Tuesday that included a series of raffles and a toy drive to benefit the victims of domestic violence.
“We have always tried to do some good with our holiday parties,” said BWBA President Sara J. Gozo. “Not only do we get together and enjoy one another during the holidays, but we can help people in need as well, which is what this organization is all about.”
More than 100 people packed into the Brooklyn Bar Association for the party. Judges, attorneys and other members were asked to donate or solicit gifts for the raffle. All of the proceeds went toward the Safe Homes Project. People were also asked to bring unwrapped toys for the children of domestic violence victims.
