Have you ever had a situation where you felt powerless because you didn’t have the right resources or information, like dealing with legal or bureaucratic issues? Imagine facing that same challenge but without any guidance or support—how would it feel if you couldn’t afford a lawyer or didn’t understand your rights?

For many underserved individuals, this is a daily reality. That’s where the Boston Bar Foundation (BBF) steps in. The BBF’s John & Abigail Adams Benefit brings together guests in support of its mission to provide access to justice for those who need it most. Held at the elegant Museum of Fine Arts Boston, this extraordinary evening celebrates art and culture while helping to facilitate vital legal services for the community.

Each year the John & Abigail Adams Benefit welcomes over 1,000 guests for an extraordinary evening benefiting the Boston Bar Foundation. The one-of-a kind event is held at the Museum of Fine Arts, and helps support the work of the BBF in its mission to facilitate access to justice for the underserved, fund and promote innovation in the delivery of legal services and support impactful public service projects & pro bono work by lawyers in our community.

Save the Date! The 2025 Adams Benefit will take place on Saturday, April 5th at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
