On Thursday, November 18, the Ramsey County Bar Foundation (RCBF) held its annual Bench and Bar Benefit virtually. This annual program is a fundraiser for the RCBF to honor Pro Bono service and support the legal services community.
This year’s event included a silent auction and the presentation of the annual Pro Bono Award to William “Bill” Kronschnabel. The event raised over $40,000 to be given in the form of grants to law-related charitable organizations. $20,000 has already been given to Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services (SMRLS).
