Each February, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area (LCCRSF) hosts the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards Dinner, bringing together more than 600 leaders from the Bay Area’s legal, civic, business, and advocacy communities to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy and advance the fight for racial justice.

The event highlights LCCRSF’s impact through litigation, policy advocacy, economic opportunity initiatives, and direct legal services, while honoring outstanding Pro Bono Award recipients and other champions of civil rights.

Sponsorships are recognized in print and digital event materials and directly support LCCRSF’s year-round efforts to dismantle systemic racism, close the racial wealth gap, and expand opportunity across California.

The 40th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards Dinner will take place on Thursday, February 25, 2027, at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco. We invite you to join us in celebrating four decades of impact and investing in the work ahead.

For any questions or to make a sponsorship pledge, please contact Katie O’Neill at koneill@lccrsf.org.
