About this Event
The WBA Foundation will recognize our 2026 grantees at this award ceremony and networking event. The celebration brings together members of the Washington, DC legal community and others to advance our mission of leveraging the generosity of lawyers and friends in support of nonprofits serving the legal and related needs of women and girls in the DC Metro community.
