The Central Illinois Women's Bar Association will conduct a 5K Turkey Run next month in Springfield's Washington Park to raise funds for the Junior Police Academy.

Proceeds will support six one-week summer camp sessions for at-risk youths, a three-year-old program that focuses on building character and better relationships with law enforcement officers.

Most of the participants come from homeless environments or extremely low-income families, and otherwise would have no opportunities to attend camping programs. Previous grants have expired.

The CIWBA runners will start the course at 8 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 4, at a cost of $30 per person toward the goal of $47,000. To sign up or get more information, call JPA coordinator Robin Dowis at (217) 753-5764, ext. 357.

The annual benefit luncheon of Lawyers for the Creative Arts will take place Tuesday, Oct. 17, in the Empire Room of the Palmer House Hilton, Chicago. Call (312) 649-4111.

Award recipients include attorney Scott Hodes, Goodman Theatre, People's Music School, Illinois Arts Alliance, and Bell, Boyd & Lloyd.

Chicago Volunteer Legal Services Foundation will hold its annual reception and award presentation ceremony on Thursday, Nov. 9, at Winston & Strawn.

The 10th annual fall benefit of the Chicago Bar Foundation next month at The Field Museum includes access to exhibits that include “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharoahs.”

Scheduled from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, the event includes light buffet and reception, silent auction, entertainment and children's activities. Call (312) 554-1204.
