OC HBA 2010 Installation Dinner & Scholarship Fundraiser

The Hispanic Bar Association of Orange County ("HBA") hosted its 32nd Annual Installation Dinner and Scholarship Banquet from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at the Disney Grand Californian Hotel in Anaheim.

In 2010, the HBA will be celebrating four decades in service of the OC legal community. After 40 years, the HBA is coming of age as an organization; it is old enough to be an important institution in our community, and young enough to depend on your support. Our dinner also falls close to the 65th anniversary of the filing -- on March 2, 1945 -- of the Mendez v. Westminster lawsuit, in Orange County, which is important civil rights legacy and a precursor to the Brown v. Topeka Board of Education case. Therefore, the theme of our dinner this year will be the legacy that the HBA stands for: "History Brought Alive."

The HBA will proudly honor:

Attorney of the Year
Bob Cohen
Legal Aid Society of Orange County

Guardián de Justicia Award
Gladis Molina
KIND (Kids In Need of Defense)

Lifetime Achievement Award
Hon. Francisco Briseño

Corporate Citizen Award
The Walt Disney Company

The OC HBA is honored to invite
Keynote Speaker
U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis

Additionally, the HBA had the privilege of awarding Daisy Sanchez, Brenda Montes, Joel Crespo, Elisa Briseño, and Flor de Maria Tataje the Wally Davis Memorial Scholarships.

This historic and memorable night gave way to the festive ambiance that the HBA is renown for! Our guests were treated to the fabulous Cumbia/Salsa sounds of La Internacional Sonora Show.
