The Annual Talent Show & Auction is SPII’s largest, and most entertaining, event.  Each year, students, faculty, staff, and local attorneys gather to be entertained by the talents of their peers.  They are also able to bid on live and silent auction items ranging from coffee gift baskets to BBQ bashes for 25 featuring live bands!  The proceeds from the Talent Show & Auction go directly back to the students in the form of summer grants for students who do public interest internships over the summer.

 

The 2006 Talent Show & Auction was held on February 23rd at the Merket Alumni Center and raised approximately $7500 and hosted a record of over 125 attendees!  SPII wishes to thank all of the faculty, staff, and students who helped make the event possible.  We especially want to thank the Lubbock County Young Lawyers Association for their sponsorship of our event.
