2026 Annual Awards & Scholarship Gala

The Barristers' 2026 Annual Awards & Scholarship Gala | May 2 | The Grand Belle at The Bellevue, Philadelphia

Join The Barristers' Association of Philadelphia for the 2026 Annual Awards & Scholarship Gala on Saturday, May 2 at 6 PM at The Grand Belle at The Bellevue.

Now in its 76th year, the Barristers' has long been a cornerstone of Philadelphia's legal community, advocating for civil rights and supporting the professional development of Black attorneys. The Annual Awards & Scholarship Gala is one of the most anticipated evenings in the Philadelphia legal calendar, bringing together lawyers, judges, law students, and community leaders for a night of recognition, celebration, and impact.

The evening honors legal professionals who have demonstrated outstanding service to their communities and the justice system. At the heart of the Gala is the scholarship program, which provides financial support to law students from underrepresented backgrounds working toward careers in the legal profession.

Guests can expect a cocktail reception, seated dinner, open bar, live award presentations, and scholarship check presentations.

Sponsorship opportunities are available, ranging from $1,000 to $20,000, with benefits including scholarship naming rights, program advertising, on-stage recognition, and more. Individual tickets are available at $275 per person.
