We’re still reflecting on the incredible energy and generosity from the 2026 Campaign for Legal Services Kickoff Breakfast.
The room was filled with advocates, supporters, colleagues, and friends who care deeply about making sure people across New Hampshire can access the legal help they need. Together, we raised more than $250,000 for 603 Legal Aid and New Hampshire Legal Assistance-NH Justice For All.
We’re thankful to the speakers who helped ground the morning in both purpose and impact, including Megan Hilson on behalf of the NH CLS Leadership Council, Chris Scott representing U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, and Chief Justice Gordon J. MacDonald of the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
One of the most memorable moments of the event was seeing John E. Tobin, Jr. present the John E. Tobin, Jr., Justice Award to Senior Associate Justice Gary Hicks. We were also honored to be joined by a client whose story served as a powerful reminder of why civil legal aid matters and how access to legal support can make a life-changing difference when people need it most.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported the campaign, along with our 2026 Leadership Sponsors, Sheehan Phinney and McLane Middleton. The momentum from this year’s Kickoff Breakfast continues, and there is still time to be part of it. Your support helps ensure that individuals and families across New Hampshire can access the civil legal aid services they need during some of the most challenging moments in their lives.
