A Night of Connection: Cocktails in the Courtyard Columbia 2025

Date: May 5, 2025

On March 25th, 2025, the SC Bar Foundation hosted the fourth annual Columbia “Cocktails in the Courtyard” at The Seibels House & Garden. The event brought together community leaders, supporters, and legal professionals to celebrate and raise funds for a worthy cause. This year’s event raised $19,428 to help support the Foundation’s mission of advancing justice through legal aid and education programs across South Carolina.
