Annual Barristers’ Ball scheduled to return April 30
The Wolverine Bar Association and the Wolverine Bar Foundation are excited to announce the return of the Barristers’ Ball. The 60th Annual Barristers’ Ball will take place Saturday, April 30, in the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center Ballroom.
This black-tie affair commemorates the Wolverine Bar’s commitment to diversity, excellence in the legal profession, and improvement to the quality of life in the metropolitan Detroit area.
The Barristers’ Ball is the signature fundraiser for the Wolverine Bar Foundation, the charitable arm of the Wolverine Bar. 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 members practice.
