Mario B. Williams isn’t afraid to speak truth to power.
From suing the Trump administration four times to securing adequate medical care for prison inmates to winning a seven-figure settlement for the family of a young man killed by police, Williams has taken on a number of high-profile cases.
And, while he has won millions for his clients over the years, his reputation as a leading human-rights attorney is more about respecting people’s rights, not remuneration.
“I never really focused on it because the money comes as a result of the process,” said Williams. “If you come to me for a police shooting or a constitutional rights case, you’re going to get not only a lawyer who understands what’s going on, you’re going to get an advocate. I take a lot of cases that have nothing to do with money. We do things for people, regardless of the setting, who have had their rights violated.”

Patrons were able to head to participating restaurants and locations near them to purchase some chowder (or order takeout/delivery where available), and a portion of the proceeds from each bowl went towards supporting the not-for-profit program.
Over $35,600 in funding was raised for the program and approximately 2,136 bowls of chowder were sold.
So, without further ado, here are the National Chowder Chowdown Festival Award Winners from the 2021 event.

THANK YOU: Young people from the Prince’s Trust group who have been raising money for Wetheriggs Animal Rescue
A KIND-hearted team of unemployed young people set themselves a bumper challenge to raise money for a dale animal charity.
The Prince’s Trust group, from Bishop Auckland, planned a week’s worth of tasks to develop their own skills while helping Wetheriggs Animal Rescue Centre, at Thorpe Farm.
Prince’s Trust team member Mark Amos said: “We were quite ambitious and set ourselves a target of raising £1,500.
“We know that charities have been struggling during the pandemic and we want to give something back.”
