Message from the Chair
 Jennifer Gibbins Durbin
It is my privilege to serve as the 24th Chair of the San Antonio Bar Foundation. I am proud of the accomplishments of the Foundation and the Bar’s service to the San Antonio community through educational programs and charitable gifts.
The Foundation’s activities include:
18th Annual Fun Run for Justice on November 21, 2009, at Sam’s Burger Joine (330 Grayson Street, San Antonio, TX). This 4-mile family-fun event, starts at Sam’s Burger Joint, goes through Brackenridge part and back to Sam’s Burger Joint. Proceeds from the Fun Run benefit the Police Atheletic League (PAL) programs, which assist at-risk youth and future gifts of the Foundation.
16th People’s Law School
Saturday, February 20, 2010, St. Mary’s University School of Law
People’s Law School is an annual (and sometimes twice annual) presentation by volunteer attorneys who provide, at no cost, legal and consumer information to the San Antonio community on a range of pertinent issues and developments.
