Last Thursday night, many giving Valparaiso University School of Law students took a study break from finals to spread a little Christmas cheer by attending the annual Valparaiso Adopt-a-Family Kickoff Party at Marti­ni’s Restaurant from 8pm to 10pm.

The holiday event was co-spon­sored by Phi Alpha Delta (PAD) and the Women’s Law Student Associa­tion (WLSA), in conjunction with the Salvation Army’s long-running Adopt-a-Family program. Delicious compli­mentary hors d’ oeuvres were provided in exchange for the generous donations of Valpo Law students, faculty, and other supportive Valparaiso community members. The successful event provid­ed two deserving families with an abun­dant assortment of children’s clothing and toys. In addition, PAD and WLSA collected monetary donations and non-perishable food items for the families to make a Christmas meal and will wrap the presents prior to delivering them to the families.

PAD and WLSA would like to thank all who attended the event for opening their hearts and wallets to make this a truly unforgettable Christmas for two local families.
