Day Pitney Raises More Than $11,000 for Connecticut Foodshare's Raise the Bar Campaign

Day Pitney LLP is proud to announce that it raised $11,453 for Connecticut Foodshare’s 2026 Raise the Bar campaign, helping provide critical support to Connecticut residents facing hunger and advancing Connecticut Foodshare’s mission to build a stronger, food-secure community. 

As a founding firm of the Raise the Bar campaign, Day Pitney joined fellow founding firms in helping launch and drive the initiative’s success. From May 4–15, 2026, the campaign brought together Connecticut’s legal community and raised more than $50,000 in just two weeks, helping provide more than 100,000 meals for individuals facing hunger this summer. 

“We are incredibly proud of the generosity and community spirit demonstrated by our attorneys and staff throughout this campaign,” said Erick Sandler, Day Pitney’s Hartford Office Managing Partner. “As a founding firm of Raise the Bar, it has been especially rewarding to see the legal community come together to make such a meaningful impact. Supporting Connecticut Foodshare’s mission to fight hunger across our state is deeply important to us, and we are honored to contribute to an effort that will help provide meals for thousands of Connecticut residents this summer.”

Raise the Bar is a two-week statewide fundraising competition that unites law firms, legal organizations, corporate and in-house counsel, vendors, clerks, and judges in a collective effort to support individuals and families experiencing food insecurity across Connecticut.
