2023 SAPPHIRE ANNIVERSARY GALA

Join us on May 25th at Tribeca Rooftop as we celebrate LGBT Bar NY's 45th anniversary at our Foundation's Annual Gala!

LGBT Bar NY's Annual Gala supports the charitable and educational activities of the LGBT Bar NY Foundation, including our pro bono legal clinics, LGBT Law Notes, Law Student Career Fair, Judicial Fellowship Program, and a host of additional activities benefiting the LGBTQ+ legal community and the public.

As part of the Annual Gala, LGBT Bar NY honors individuals with a distinguished record of service to our community. This year, we are thrilled to announce our Community Vision Awardee, Governor Kathy Hochul, and Community Excellence Awardees Kate L. Doniger, Esq., Hon. James L. Hyer, and Taylor D. James, Esq. We will also celebrate our founder, Professor Emeritus Arthur S. Leonard, as we look back on our organization's 45 years of history.

The evening will offer dinner, drinks, dancing, and a rooftop space with 360-degree views of Manhattan and the Hudson River. Help us raise a toast to our community's accomplishments and prepare for the challenges that are to come!
