About the Inaugural Foundation Benefit Event

On Thursday, April 10, 2025, the Durham Bar Foundation hosted a fundraising event for our Adam Lischer Memorial Scholarship Award fund and other legal-industry philanthropic endeavors. Co-Chairpersons (and past DCBA presidents) Brandon Robinson and Catherine Pavur led a team which gathered *nineteen* sponsors across firms and individuals, 135 attendees, and a small-but-mighty silent auction.

The Durham Bar Foundation's (First) Annual Benefit raised $22,674.34 for the scholarship fund and community agencies. During the evening, we shared a video message from a few of our scholarship recipients which is also posted below.
