University law students are taking a break from hitting books to instead hit each other, while sending a sick child to Disney World. The Paul M. Herbert Law School is hosting the sixth annual Barristers Bowl to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation on Saturday at Olympia Stadium. The bowl – which is organized by law students – will feature more than 100 law school students playing in and cheerleading at a scrimmage football game, said Sean Corcoran, bowl commissioner. Organizers will sell T-shirts, hold raffles, take donations and conduct a silent auction to raise funds at the bowl, Corcoran said. There will also be a live auction at Bogie’s bar near Tigerland following the game, Corcoran said. Corcoran said a dinner with the vice-chancellor and a case of Natural Light beer were the items that raised the most money, netting more than $1,000 for the charity. ‘This is a great way for people to donate things that may not cost them much, but can raise some money for a good cause,’ Corcoran said. Corcoran said the event itself is paid for with money raised from a program with rosters, biographies and sponsors distributed at the game. Thirty law students started the bowl in 2004 as a way to raise money for hurricane relief, Corcoran said. Last year the bowl raised $20,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Corcoran said. This year’s funds will go toward a leukemia stricken Baton Rouge youth’s wish to meet Mickey at Disney World, according to a Law School news release. The event starts at 1:30 p.m on Saturday. ____ Contact Xerxes A. Wilson at [email protected]
