62nd Annual Barristers’ Ball


Dear Friends and Supporters:

The Wolverine Bar Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization, and The Wolverine Bar Association are excited to invite you to attend and sponsor the 62nd Annual Barristers’ Ball on Saturday, April 20th, 2024, at the Detroit Marriott Hotel at the Renaissance Center located on the banks of the majestic Detroit River.

The Barristers’ Ball is our signature black-tie charity fundraising gala. It includes a strolling dinner buffet and musical entertainment, and is attended by over 1500 supporters each year. This year’s theme is “Motown: Back Down Memory Lane,” where we will celebrate Detroit’s rich musical and social history from the 60’s to the 2000’st.

Your attendance and sponsorship of the Barristers’ Ball funds our programs and services, which include our student externships, internships, scholarships, education courses, and mentoring; as well as, legal information, education, and representation for the underrepresented. In other words, enjoying a night of fun and excitement at the Barrister’s Ball will help us create a lasting impact on the careers and success of the students we assist, and the African American community as a whole.

Sponsorship also provides an opportunity to share your support for diversity and inclusion, in addition to information about your products and services, with event attendees and our network of businesses, entrepreneurs, attorneys, politicians, judges, professors, and community leaders. If you would like to sponsor, please feel free to review and complete the enclosed sponsorship information here.

I look forward to seeing you and your colleagues at the 2024 Barrister’s Ball! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at wolverinebarristersball@gmail.com or phone at (313) 962-0250.
