Affinity Bar Challenge taking place February 16

The Affinity Bar Charity Challenge 2023 will take place Thursday, February 16, from 6 to p.m. at Pop's for Italian, 280 W. Nine Mile Road in Ferndale, for a fun night of giving back.

The Oakland County Bar Association, Women's Bar Association (Oakland County region of Women Lawyers Association of Michigan), D. Augustus Straker Bar Association, Hellenic Bar Association of Michigan, Hispanic Bar Association of Michigan, and WLAM - Wayne will all take part in the challenge.

Each partner bar association is representing a charity. Attendees will vote for their favorite bar association by donating cash "tips" to the association's "tip jar" of their choice. All tips will go to the charities selected by each respective bar association.

The bar association that receives the most tips will win the challenge and receive an additional donation to its charity. All net proceeds from the event will also be split between all of the charities. The OCBA's charity is the Oakland County Bar Foundation scholarship fund to advance diversity in the legal profession

Tickets cost $50 for members of any partner organization and $75 for non-members. To register, visit www.ocba.org and click on "events." Anyone with questions may contact the Women's Bar Association at wbaoakland@gmail.com.
