GAPABA Law Foundation Reception

GAPABA's Law Foundation Donor Appreciation and Public Service Reception runs Tuesday, October 6, 2026 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at Kamayan ATL Restaurant, 5150 Buford Hwy NE in Doraville. The GAPABA Law Foundation and Public Service Committee jointly host an informal night recognizing GLF donors, nonprofit grant recipients, Hemanth Digumarthi Scholars, and public-interest attorneys, with a brief big-check presentation. Filipino food at the Michelin-rated Kamayan room is part of the format, not a side note. Capacity caps at 100; registration is free with a code for donors, Diggy Scholars, grant recipients, public-interest and government attorneys, and public-interest-track law students, while other GAPABA members list at $30.

GAPABA is Georgia's Asian Pacific American bar association, and this Buford Highway reception is a clearer public-interest and donor room than a generic happy hour. Request the free-registration code from director@gapaba.org rather than guessing. Sponsor tables list around $250 for board and committee members who want a visible seat. That named host, capped room, and corridor venue are why the night clears Circuit for Atlanta APA legal and nonprofit operators who already work Digumarthi scholars, AAAJ-Atlanta, Raksha, and allied Buford Highway nonprofits named in chapter materials.

This is right for GAPABA members, public-interest attorneys, law students aiming at public service, GLF donors, and nonprofit partners who want Doraville introductions without a black-tie gala. Skip it if you need Venture Atlanta's founder-investor pitch density or a PE dinner. Bring one concrete volunteer, hiring, or grant follow-up ask. Buford Highway evening parking and a 100-person cap both mean late arrivals may miss the check presentation.

If you are choosing between this Tuesday reception and Venture Atlanta the following week, stay here for APA bar and public-interest density on Buford Highway and use Venture Atlanta for Southeast tech capital. Register on gapaba.org/event-6816814, email Vy Vu for the free code if you qualify, and re-check spaces-left counts before you assume a seat closer to October 6.
