2010 LEAP Luncheon Registration Form

An estimated 150 people attended the 15th Annual Mardi Gras Luncheon held on February 24, 2009 by the Foundation for Lawyers Encouraging Academic Performance (LEAP), celebrating Kansas City’s local legal profession’s commitment to public service.  A check totaling $85,000 gathered from donations from KCMBA members and others was presented to Operation Breakthrough.  LEAP is a not-for-profit foundation established in 1994 to provide needy children with mentoring services. It is comprised of a unique, joint professional effort of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association, the Eastern Jackson County Bar Association, the Association for Women Lawyers of Greater Kansas City, Lawyers Association of Kansas City, Jackson County Bar Association, Hispanic Bar Association, and the Kansas City Chapter of the Association for Corporate Counsel of America.

The KCMBA/KCMBF supports LEAP through the donation of the Bar Center for the luncheon, providing staff to help coordinate the lunch and process registration forms and providing space in the KC Counselor for the registration form and post-luncheon article.
