In 2027, PILI will celebrate its 50th anniversary. This year of celebration will culminate in a very special 50th Anniversary Awards Gala, which will take the place of our usual luncheon. We will be raising funds to support PILI’s future growth while also celebrating the very best aspects of the legal profession: the generosity, expertise and commitment of the legal community helping those in need.

We offer several sponsorship levels and recognize event sponsors on all web and print material related to the event. Firm and corporate sponsorships are available from $5,0000 to $25,000 and all funds raised go towards supporting PILI’s Programs. In 2026, there were 53 sponsors for this event, including 30 law firms, 11 corporations and 12 law schools. The initial deadline to confirm sponsorship of PILI's 50th Anniversary Awards Gala is Friday, October 8, 2027.
