Lawrence Taylor helps the Brooklyn Bar Association raise $45,000 for scholarships
The Brooklyn Bar Association’s fourth annual Hon. Theodore T. Jones Jr. Memorial Golf Outing, held at the Colonia Country Club in New Jersey on Monday, got a little help from football legend Lawrence Taylor and former Mayor Rudy Giuliani as it raised $45,000 total and $23,500 for law school scholarships.
“I believe all the members of the association were delighted to have one of the greatest mayors and one of the greatest football players of all time to join us for a very special day,” said Arthur Aidala, president of the Brooklyn Bar Association. “Mr. Taylor helping us break all records for fundraising at the event was an added bonus while we honored the memory of Judge Jones.”
The bar association heads all the way out to New Jersey for the occasion each year because the golf course was known for being Judge Jones’ favorite place to play. The association also uses the money raised at the event’s auction to fund scholarships for a Brooklyn Law School student, which is Jones’ alma mater.
