LA Bar Foundation
The Louisiana Bar Foundation Gala is celebrating 39 years!
Join us on Friday, April 11, 2025, at the stunning Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans as we honor our 2024 Distinguished Honorees and the recipient of the prestigious Calogero Justice Award. The LBFs decades of experience as a responsible steward of funds along with our well-established partnerships across all 64 parishes has allowed us to help hundreds of thousands of Louisiana residents gain access to the legal system.
Every spring hundreds of passionate attorneys, judges, law professors, and community leaders gather from across the state to support the LBF mission. Proceeds raised will help strengthen the programs we support and services we provide. Click here to see photos from the 2024 Gala.

Become a sponsor of the gala to celebrate our esteemed honorees and showcase your dedication to advancing justice initiatives through the LBFs work! To be included in the gala program, please purchase your sponsorship by Wednesday, March 19.
We’ve secured a room block for gala attendees at a special rate at Hilton New Orleans Riverside. Please reach out to gala@raisingthebar.org for availability and booking information. The deadline to reserve a room in the room block is March 21, 2025.
