Thanks to everyone who made our 2024 contest a success!

The Foundation of the Association of Legal Administrators is the Heart of ALA.

That’s why this February we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with a fun, heartwarming contest! For one week, anyone who donates to the Foundation has the chance to guess how many candy hearts are in a jar. Whoever has the closest guess will receive a prize! Your donation will support the Foundation’s mission to help ALA members advance and excel in their career, while raising awareness of the value of our legal management professionals.

The Foundation of the Association of Legal Administrators is the charitable affiliate of ALA. Through our various initiatives, we support efforts both within the Association and throughout our communities to improve the credibility and visibility of legal management. The Foundation’s mission and goals focus on the development of education programs and increasing awareness of the value of legal management professionals, always with an eye toward students as the future of our profession.

Our 2024 Valentine's Contest will take place starting Monday, February 12, and will conclude on Friday, February 16 at 4 p.m. Central.

How It Works

For the week that Valentine's Day falls on, our online form will be changed to include a picture of a jar filled with colorful candy hearts. Using the reference photo, players can guess how many candies are in the jar and make a donation to the Foundation. Once you complete your pledge, you are entered to win. Limit one guess per person. The player with the closest guess will be announced the following Monday in BOLD Bites and on social media. In the event of multiple winning entries, names will be entered into a generator and a winner will be picked at random.

Prize

To sweeten the deal, the winner will receive a prize! For 2024, the prize will be a $50 AmEx gift card and free registration for one of our popular web-based courses in Human Resources or Financial Management. These instructor-led courses are offered annually by ALA and can be completed at your own pace. Only eligible for classes offered in 2024. A staff member will be in touch with the winner to coordinate.

Good luck!
