SOCIAL & PROFESSIONAL EVENTS
Thank you for joining us at our 2025 Annual Gala!
On Thursday June 12, 2025, a sold out crowd joined us for our annual gala at the New England Aquarium. We were granted full access to the aquarium's exhibits, enjoyed a keynote speech from Democracy Forward's Sunu Chandy, honored community members and law students, indulged in food and drink, and basked in the glow of some fantastic drag performers.
Our 2025 Award Winners were: Matthew McTygue, Elyse Cherry, Tre'Andre Valentine, and Bill Keating. Our Law Student Chapter of the Year was Northeastern University School of Law. Our 2025 Alec Gray, Jr. Scholarship was awarded to Gordon Chan, a rising 3L at Boston University School of Law.
Thank you to everyone, including our attendees, membership, and sponsors for supporting our event and helping us to grow our scholarship fund.
If you would like to donate to our scholarship fund individually you can do so here. Our scholarship recipients from past years are serving the queer and other marginalized communities in their professional careers. Supporting our students has undoubtedly strengthened communities across the Commonwealth and the country.
A massive thank you to our Rainbow sponsors, The Law Office of Joblin C. Younger and Morrison Foerster!
And another thank you to our Gold Sponsors:
