Each year the MABL Foundation raises money to award scholarships to students attending local law schools who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement and who are committed to addressing issues that impact the Black community. Each Gala has a Keynote Speaker who presents on the theme of the Gala and provides inspiration for the students and attendees. Past Speakers have included Keith Ellison (Minnesota Attorney General), Monique Worrell (State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial District for the State of Florida), Anna Richo (Cargill Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer & Corporate Secretary), Paulette Brown (Partner with Locke Lord LLP, and first woman of color to be President of the American Bar Association), and April Danielle Ryan (an American Correspondent and author).
