Come Celebrate San Francisco Values and our Prop. 8 victory on Friday, March 9, 2012 at BALIF's 32nd Annual Gala.
This year, BALIF returns to SFMOMA for our annual Gala. Join 600+ attorneys, judges, lawmakers, in-house counsel, and law students for one of SF's biggest and most star-studded parties.
- Sip mixologist cocktails.
- Tour SFMOMA art galleries.
- Catch-up with old friends and swap numbers with new ones.
- Gourmet food stations, each showcasing a different type of SF cuisine.
- No stuffy assigned table seating; mix and mingle throughout the night.
