Celebrate 35 Years of Power, Purpose, and Progress
The MHBA Annual Gala brings together judges, attorneys, law students, sponsors, and community leaders to honor achievement, spotlight our impact, and raise critical support for the programs that advance our mission year‑round. From meaningful remarks and inspiring honorees to vibrant networking and entertainment, the Gala is our signature gathering—where professional connections deepen and our collective commitment to equity and opportunity shines.
Make an Impact: Sponsor the Gala
Gala sponsorship directly fuels MHBA’s mentorship, pipeline, scholarship, pro bono, and community outreach initiatives. As a sponsor, your organization will be recognized among leaders of the Minnesota bar and broader business community, demonstrating a visible commitment to diversity, inclusion, and access to justice. Sponsorships offer prominent brand visibility before, during, and after the event, along with opportunities to host clients and colleagues, engage your team, and align your brand with a mission‑driven celebration that makes a difference.
Join Us
Whether you attend, sponsor, or do both, your participation helps sustain MHBA programming throughout the year and expands opportunities across our community. We look forward to welcoming you to the Gala and partnering with you to elevate our shared impact.
