The Van Winkle Law Firm purchased the "City
Pride" bear at Historic Downtown Hendersonville's annual Bearfootin' Art
Walk & Auction on Saturday, Oct. 22. The bear was sponsored by the
Hendersonville Bar Association and designed by West Henderson High School
visual arts students. Proceeds from the purchase benefit Pisgah Legal Services,
a nonprofit law firm that provides free legal advice, pro bono attorneys and
community legal services for underserved populations in Western North Carolina.Each year, local artists create one-of-a-kind artwork on Hendersonville's iconic bear statues to represent community nonprofit organizations. Proceeds from the auction benefit local charities. Over the years, the event has raised more than $220,000.
