Each partner bar association was representing a charity. Attendees voted for their favorite bar association by donating cash “tips” to the association’s “tip jar” of their choice. All tips go to the charities selected by each respective bar association. The bar association that received the most tips wins the challenge and receive an additional donation to its charity. This year’s winner was the Italian American Bar Association and its charity was Fleece.
