Leaving a Legacy

Leaving a Legacy

In 100 Years, Who Will Know You Were Here?

We’re living in an era of immediate and endless data. We upgrade our phones and computers to increase the volume and speed with which we can receive it. Our own work becomes a part of it.

In this era of constant streaming data, what will outlast us? What will outlive us? What will be the evidence of our impact?

In 126 years, the Austin Bar Association has never had a permanent home. With our move to Hilgers House, we will be putting down roots in the historic Judges Hill neighborhood.

Generations of Austin attorneys will pass through the doors of Hilgers House. The home will host meetings and social gatherings and will become a tangible symbol of the organization and the legal community. Imagine your name in this house, as part of your legacy. A $5,000 gift to the Hilgers House campaign gets your name on the Leadership Wall, which will be located in the historic home’s main foyer. Gifts can be paid over a five-year period.

Gifts between $1,000 and $4,999 will be recognized in the Hilgers House Conference Room, where meetings and CLEs will be held.

We have a unique opportunity to leave our legacy—to create a lasting record of our membership in Austin’s legal community—for our families, our colleagues, and ourselves.

To add your name to the Leadership Wall, visit www. ourhomeonjudgeshill.com or contact DeLaine Ward at DeLaine@austinbar.org.

All gifts and pledges made before November 30 will be matched, $1 for $2, by the Lola Wright Foundation. AL
