On March 24, 2026, the SC Bar Foundation proudly hosted Cocktails in the Courtyard – Columbia at our brand-new venue, Smoked. The evening brought together lawyers, grantees, and community partners for an evening of connection, celebration, and meaningful support. This gathering furthered the Foundation’s mission of promoting justice by funding legal access and education across South Carolina.

Supporting Our Grantees
The funds raised from this event directly benefit the SC Bar Foundation’s 50+ grantees, who provide legal assistance to low-income individuals, offer law-related education, and support programs that improve the administration of justice. These grants ensure that all South Carolinians have the legal resources they need to navigate difficult situations, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Four Events, One Mission
Cocktails in the Courtyard is one of four annual gatherings held by the SC Bar Foundation, with events hosted in Columbia, Greenville, Charleston, and Rock Hill. Each event serves as both a fundraiser and an opportunity to engage with supporters who share our vision of ensuring that every person in South Carolina can recognize and secure their legal rights.
