2024 Builders of Justice Awards

Picture
More than $18,000 was raised at our 12th Annual Builders of Justice event in McKinney. An important part of the afternoon was recognizing and honoring area civic and philanthropic leaders for their commitment to justice. This year’s honorees were Hope’s Door New Beginning Center, Legal Aid Attorney Kamisha Dumas, Hugs Cafe, and Dr. Cheryl Jackson.
Special thanks to our Silver sponsors— Collin County Bench Bar Foundation and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and our Bronze sponsors—The Page Law Firm, Linda Epstein, and Tyler Technologies. Kudos to the Legal Aid team, the BOJ Committee, and our volunteers and supporters for a job well done.
