Orlando, president of the Oakland County Bar Foundation. She also thanked Cooley for their generous Platinum sponsorship of the Signature Event.The award read, "Presented to Thomas M. Cooley Law School by the Oakland County Bar foundation in recognition and appreciation of their commitment to excellence and significant contribution to law-related and charitable activities in Oakland County."

Don LeDuc expressed his pleasure and honor in accepting the award. He also thanked Oakland University, recognizing in attendance: Penny Crissman, chairman of the board, and Vic Zambardi, general counsel, for their ongoing support of Cooley’s campus in Rochester on the campus of Oakland University.
The Oakland County Bar Foundation’s Signature Event raised just short of $100,000 for law-related charities in Oakland County. The Oakland County Bar Foundation was organized to receive and administer funds that support the charitable and educational activities of the Oakland County Bar Association and other publicly supported organizations. It serves the citizens of Oakland County and the legal profession through the funding of programs that foster the honor, integrity and welfare of the legal system, and improve its equality, accessibility and affordability, maintain the excellence of the Adams Pratt Law Library and educate the public about the role of lawyers in society.
