Cohalan Cares for Kids is an annual fundraiser hosted by the Suffolk County Bar Association that raises funds for our
Suffolk County Children's Center at Cohalan Court

This year's event will honor Sarah Jane LaCova, Executive Director of the Suffolk County Bar Association.
Attendees will enjoy live music, prizes, food, wine, and more!
Tickets are $60 or two for $100; law student tickets are $40.
