The Wolverine Bar Association and the Wolverine Bar Foundation will host the 57th Annual Black &?White Barristers’ Ball on Saturday, April 7, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Detroit Marriott – Renaissance Center.
This year, the theme is “The Past Remembered and Reclaimed” to reflect the WBA and WBF efforts to improve diversity and inclusion in the legal profession, ensuring equal justice and equal access for those in the community overall. Pipeline programming efforts, which include new scholarship, mentorship and job opportunities for minority law students and high school students, receive support from the Barristers’ Ball.
Every year, more than 1,500 leaders from the legal, business, civic and political communities attend the Barristers’ Ball to celebrate the best of the Southeastern Michigan community. This black-tie affair commemorates the WBA’s 90-plus years of commitment to diversity, excellence in the legal profession and improvement to the quality of life in the metropolitan Detroit area.
Since its inception, the foundation has served as a force of change in Michigan. The foundation has awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships to area law students, fostered attorney
participation in pro bono activities aimed at benefiting the public, and sponsored community outreach programs and seminars on legal issues designed to improve the quality of life in the communities where we practice. The WBF is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization.
Tickets for the Barristers’ Ball are $125 for members, $150 for non-members, and $1,125 for a table. Register at http://wolverinebar.org. The WBF is also currently accepting corporate sponsorship commitments at 313-962-0250 or 313-999-4866.
