Neighborhood Legal Services is hosting its Inaugural Champions of Justice Pro Bono Awards Luncheon on Thursday, April 10, 2025 from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM Eastern at Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh Downtown (Roost Event Space), 250 Forbes Avenue, 2nd Floor, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222.

Being a champion is in the DNA of the Pittsburgh region.

For more than half a century, Pittsburgh's attorneys have been a vital safety net for communities, breaking barriers, lifting families out of poverty, and protecting the most vulnerable.

Their work is essential, noble, and worthy of recognition.
Join NLS in honoring those leaders as Neighborhood Legal Services Champions of Justice.
