Tickets are now available for purchase for the 2024 Excellence Awards celebration taking place on Wednesday March 27, 2024 at the Hilton Harrisburg. The event will commence with a cocktail reception at 5:00 PM, where guests are invited to enjoy a selection of beverages and hors d'oeuvres as we set the stage for an evening of celebration. The program will be highlighted by the presentation of the 2024 Awards, including a personalized video tribute to each of the recipients celebrating their remarkable achievements.
At the core of our Excellence Awards is an inspiring unity. This unity is built upon the relentless dedication of advocates in our Network, the steadfast support of our private bar partners, and the collaborative spirit of community leaders. Their collective efforts not only expand access to civil legal services but also light the way towards justice and equality for Pennsylvania's marginalized and low-income residents.
Every year, we celebrate these outstanding individuals, groups, and initiatives through our Excellence Awards, culminating in an event highlighting the enduring impact of their contributions.
