THE HBAF CELEBRATES ITS 75TH ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP BALL
The Hellenic Bar Association Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hellenic Bar Association of Illinois, hosted its 75th Annual Scholarship Ball on November 1, 2025 at the Hilton Oak Brook Hills Resort.
The theme of this year was “Celebrating Our Legacy, Empowering Our Future” and it was truly an extraordinary, record-breaking evening marked by remarkable generosity, unity, and pride in our Hellenic legal community. Thanks to our dedicated sponsors and supporters, we raised a record number of sponsorships and scholarships, allowing us to award an incredible $80,000 in scholarships to nine outstanding recipients from a highly competitive pool of applicants.
