PAIR Gala Celebration
The annual PAIR Gala Celebration will be held on Monday, June 3, 2019 at the Seaport World Trade Center, Harborview Ballroom. Come join PAIR as we celebrate 30 years of serving immigrants!
The Gala brings together more than 300 leaders in Greater Boston’s legal, nonprofit and business communities, including law firm partners, corporate counsel, philanthropists, immigrants, and community activists. Guests also have a chance to meet former PAIR clients to hear their stories of hope. It is a special evening and powerful moment to honor all those who work so hard to assist our vibrant immigrant community.
This year's distinguished awardees are:
Pro Bono Asylum Award
Thomas Hannigan, Jennifer Rikoski, Isabelle Kinsolving Farrar, Alex Intile, & Daniel Swartz, Ropes & Gray LLP
Pro Bono Detention Award
Murphy & King P.C.
Pro Bono Mentor Award
Emma Winger, American Immigration Council & Jennifer Klein, Committee for Public Counsel Services
Pro Bono Interpreter Award
Carol Leon, Boston Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement
Pro Bono Law Firm Award
Choate Hall & Stewart LLP
Outstanding Service Award
Alan Pampanin, Pampanin Law Offices
Outstanding Business Leader in Human Rights Award
AbbVie Inc.
Sarah B. Ignatius Award for Excellence in Law
Howard Silverman
As we reflect on 30 years of PAIR, it is also an evening of gathering community allies and making a commitment to support immigrant across Massachusetts, much of which is done through corporate sponsorship and PAIR's Fund the Mission drive. Each dollar donated to PAIR is one more immigrant’s dream of a better life realized, one more helping hand to those desperately in need of legal aid, and is one more asylum seeker who has the opportunity to find their voice and live their dream.
