In 2013, Legal Aid and CulinAerie – one of the District’s premiere recreational cooking schools – hosted the first ever Generous Associates Campaign CulinAerie Cooking Competition for firms participating in the Generous Associates Campaign. The competitions have proven to be a terrific way to help spur on friendly rivalry among firms, and we are extremely grateful to CulinAerie’s owner, Susan Holt, for continuing to host us.
Firms participating in the Generous Associates Campaign have an opportunity to qualify for a chance to field a cooking team.
