About the Event
The Birmingham Bar Foundation’s 2026 Fellows Dinner is a distinguished evening celebrating excellence, integrity, and service within our legal community. This annual black-tie event honors the newest Class of BBF Fellows and BBF Life Fellows—exceptional attorneys and judges who have demonstrated a deep commitment to justice, professionalism, and the advancement of the legal profession.
Hosted in an elegant setting and attended by leaders from across Birmingham’s legal, civic, and philanthropic sectors, the BBF Fellows Dinner also serves as a key fundraiser supporting the Foundation’s mission. Proceeds help fund programs that promote access to justice, legal education, and charitable initiatives throughout the community.
Join us for an inspiring evening that recognizes our profession’s finest and invests in its future.
About the Birmingham Bar Foundation
The Birmingham Bar Foundation encourages and unifies the philanthropic and educational efforts of the Birmingham Bar Association for the betterment of our community and for the promotion of justice. Through its charitable and community educational activities, the Birmingham Bar Foundation deepens public understanding of the law and strengthens the administration of justice while amplifying the positive impact of Birmingham lawyers in the community.
For over 30 years, the BBF has been a driving force for equal access to justice in our community. Through generous support from legal professionals, community partners, and sponsors like you, the Foundation has awarded more than $2 million in grants to local nonprofit organizations that provide critical legal services to individuals and families in need.
In addition to grantmaking, the Foundation leads impactful programs that promote civic education and legal engagement—including public appellate court sessions for students, high school mock trials, juror services, and scholarships for law students at Alabama’s accredited law schools. These efforts not only support the underserved, but also foster a stronger, more informed legal community.
Your sponsorship of the Fellows Gala event directly fuels these initiatives, helping us expand opportunity, advance justice, and inspire the next generation of legal leaders. Together, we are building a better Birmingham—one case, one classroom, one life at a time.
