Supporting 3L Scholarships at Mercer Law School

Powers Beecher Law Firm is honored to once again sponsor the Lauren Giddings 5K, an event that holds deep significance for the Mercer Law School community. Organized by the Mercer Association of Women Law Students (AWLS), this annual 5K race commemorates the life of Lauren Giddings, a beloved 2011 graduate, while raising essential funds for 3L scholarships.

Lauren Giddings was a Mercer Law student and dedicated AWLS member who passed away in 2011. She was involved throughout law school and is remembered for her passion for giving back, including her diligence with the Public Defender Clinic. Outside of her legal career, Lauren loved live music, softball, and her beloved dog, Butterbean.

AWLS hosts a yearly 5K in her honor and memory because of her love of running. This year will proudly be the 8th Annual Lauren Giddings 5K. Proceeds from this event will contribute to scholarships awarded to our most involved and academically dedicated graduating members of Mercer AWLS to supplement the costs of preparing for the bar exam.

The event will take place at Cruz Plaza on Mercer’s undergraduate Macon campus on November 17, 2024, with the race starting at 10:00 AM. Participants will come together to honor Lauren’s memory and support aspiring legal professionals. The funds raised provide meaningful assistance to 3L students preparing for the bar exam, an effort that Powers Beecher is proud to contribute to.
