JOIN US VIRTUALLY SEPTEMBER 19 - OCTOBER 4, 2020

The Las Vegas Latino Bar Association is proud to present its second annual scholarship fundraising event: ¡Andale! 5K Run/Walk!

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, this year's race will take place virtually from September 19, 2020, to October 4. Even though we cannot come together in-person, we can still come together virtually to stay healthy and support a great cause.

You can register individually or as a team (teams will be competing for cool bragging rights, like most members, fun social media posts, etc.) For those fast runners, we'll notify you if you are a top finalist and ask for proof of your time (e.g., via Strava, Apple Watch, Garmin). We’ll mail certificates to the top three finalists on various age/gender divisions and a special prize for the fastest person in each division.

Every participant will receive a t-shirt and race memento. If you live in Las Vegas, we will have packet pick-up available via curb-side a week before the race (details TBD). If you live out of town, we'll mail your swag before the race. You can show your support on social media using #Andale5K2020.

A RACE TO EQUALIZE LAW SCHOOL ADMISSIONS

According to the Hispanic National Bar Association, while making up 18% of our country's population, Hispanics comprise only about 5% of the nation's lawyers. Now more than ever, we see the necessity in having a legal profession that is more reflective of our nation’s ethnic diversity. Diversity in the legal field will increase public trust in our legal system, assist law firms develop more innovative approaches to legal problems, and increase judicial diversity. Change won’t happen overnight, but with its ¡Andale! Scholarship, the LBA aims to help equalize law school admissions for latinos. Help us achieve our goal!

OUR INAUGURAL ¡ANDALE! 5K FUNDED 17 SCHOLARSHIPS

The ¡Andale! Scholarship helps recipients pay for LSAT preparation courses and related LSAT fees, an obstacle for many aspiring attorneys wishing to go to law school. Through your support, last year we raised over $40,000, which allowed us to fund 17 scholarships.

BREAKING BARRIERS

A significant barrier for many Hispanics who wish to pursue a legal education is their inability to afford an LSAT preparation course, which would lead to higher LSAT scores and ultimate a higher chance of getting accepted into law school. This race will raise funds for scholarships to pay for Hispanic college students to offset the costs of LSAT preparation courses.
