Wall of Honor
by Cameron Townes Gore, Escambia-Santa Rosa Bar Foundation Director
The Wall of Honor was created in 2007 by the Escambia-Santa Rosa Bar Foundation, Inc. for the purpose of honoring and commemorating deceased attorneys and judges of the First Judicial Court. The Wall currently memorializes 18 individuals by displaying their names, dates of birth, and dates of death etched into the glass panels prominently displayed on the first floor of the M.C. Blanchard Center in Pensacola.
Unfortunately, we have lost several beloved members and past presidents of the ESRBA in the last year. If you, a firm, or group of colleagues are looking for a way to honor them and their legacy, we encourage you to consider the Wall of Honor.
“Eligible Individuals” whose names may be listed on the Wall are limited to deceased attorneys and judges of the State of Florida First Judicial Circuit who are in good standing with the Florida Bar at the time of the death and at the time of inscription on the Memorial Wall. In exchange for a singular charitable donation of $2,500.00, or multiple charitable donations designated to memorializing a specific individual totaling $2,500.00, the EscambiaSanta Rosa Bar Foundation will add the individual to the Wall of Honor.
The Escambia-Santa Rosa Bar Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the ESRBA and a Section 501(c) (3) tax-exempt charitable organization. All contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible. The mission of the Foundation is to foster greater accessibility to the judicial system, improve the overall quality of the administration of justice, promote law-related education, increase public awareness of the judicial system, and improve management and operation of the court system.
Over the years, the Foundation has done so much more than just grow its endowment. It has served as a conduit for Escambia Santa Rosa Bar Association related fundraisers to help area organizations and programs as well as awarded grants for various endeavors. A grant application can be found at www. esrba.com/ bar-foundation/donate/.
