- RESCHEDULED – Pillars of Justice 2022
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are still available for the rescheduled Pillars of Justice event, to be held in person at Stetson University on January 19th, 2023 from 5:30-7:30pm. All tickets and sponsorships purchased for the original date will be honored for the rescheduled date. If you had previously purchased a ticket and we do not hear from you, your ticket purchase will continue to support this event.
Pillars of Justice recognizes those individuals who have dedicated their lives to community service, including past and current recipients of the Liberty Bell Award, Heroes Among Us Award, and Stetson’s Dean’s Award. It also provides an opportunity to recognize the Foundation’s monument at the Stetson University College of Law campus, which is dedicated to the recipients of these awards.
This year’s award ceremony will be recognizing the following award recipients:
2022 Liberty Bell Award: Helen Levine
2022 Heroes Among Us Award: Bruce Denson
2022 Dean’s Scholarship for Community Service: Tiffany HiltonHeroes Among Us Award Nominations
Do you know an attorney who volunteers to help others – not through pro bono service – but through other volunteer efforts? Nominations for 2022 are now closed, but we will be looking for new Heroes in late summer 2023!
Among our efforts in enhancing the legal profession is to honor those who go above and beyond the call of duty in volunteering their time and talents in our community. Each year, the St. Petersburg Bar Foundation honors an outstanding lawyer with the Heroes Among Us Award. The recipient will be honored at the Foundation’s Pillars of Justice event.
