The DCBA is holding its annual Law Day Pro Bono Breakfast on April 30, 2026 starting at 8:00 am at First United Methodist Church, 203 Wisconsin Ave, Madison, WI.

This year the DCBA is pleased to welcome State Bar of Wisconsin President Dan Gartzke as our keynote speaker to highlight the need for pro bono legal services in our community. Attorney Gartzke practices primarily family law at Boardman Clark in Madison. He also served as a past DCBA president and is a current frequent and valuable volunteer with the Family Law Assistance Center at the Dane County Courthouse. 

We are now collecting nominations using this Nomination Form and are also requesting sponsorships for the event. Please go to our Delivery of Legal Services Committee page to find out more information about the awards and make a nomination. Nominations are due by end of the day on April 7, 2026. For a recap of the 2025 awards ceremony and list of past award winners go to our Pro Bono Awards page.

All event proceeds and sponsorship funds raised will go towards supporting the Pro Bono Trust Fund and Porchlight, Inc. Homeless Services. The Pro Bono Trust Fund is one of the only funding sources for local pro bono initiatives that support civil legal services to low-income individuals. In this time of declining resources, these funds are precious.

Sponsorships are available at the following levels:

  • $1000 Diamond
  • $750 Platinum
  • $500 Gold 
  • $200 Silver

Sponsorships include recognition during the event highlighting your firm's contribution, additional recognition in the event program, and inclusion in the DCBA newsletter and DCBA website. Sponsorships at the Platinum and Diamond Level will receive recognition during the event as well as static annual inclusion on the DCBA webpage.

The sponsorship form with additional information is available by clicking here.. Sponsorship pledges should be received by April 24th.
