Ways to support this year’s Auction:  

• Place your web-linked logo on our Silent Auction webpage for $50. Every time guests bid, they will notice your ad indicating support.
• Consider making a $40 donation to PILS; after all, there is no cost to attend the event this year. (Tickets to attend in past years have been $40.)
• Donate an item for silent auction. Fill out the donation form HERE. Gift cards are always a favorite and are easy to mail. The possibilities are endless—Boswell Books, Sendik’s, the Marquette Spirit Shop, Colectivo Coffee, Sobelmans, and the Milwaukee Public Market are a few local ideas. And, of course, there are mainstays like Uber, Netflix, and Starbucks.
• Bid often on fantastic experiences and items—many of which you can enjoy from home.
• Fund a fellow. A PILS Fellowship provides support of $4,800. Donating the equivalent of a summer fellowship is game-changing for a student.

"DO WELL AND DO GOOD"
Howard B. Eisenberg, Dean and Professor of Law (1995–2002)

The auction is named in memory of Howard B. Eisenberg, dean of the Law School from 1995 until 2002. Dean Eisenberg remained committed to providing legal services to people in need throughout his distinguished career. A role model for attorneys and students, he encouraged everyone to "do well and do good." With your help, the Public Interest Law Society (PILS) is honored to continue serving people in need through its student fellowships.
