DJ Akib had the honor of DJing at the HLAI Gala at Navy Pier on October 4, 2024 — a star-studded black-tie evening with attorneys and politicians from across Chicago and the suburbs, all gathered for an incredible cause.

The night specifically benefited HLAI Charities, the charitable arm of the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois (HLAI). Donations fund scholarships for law students preparing for the Bar examination, deserving college students prepping for the LSAT, and law students spending summers in government or nonprofit legal offices.

Guests danced the night away to tunes from DJ Akib & DJ JFade and the party didn't stop until 1 a.m. — from "My Girl" all the way to "La Chona", the energy was nonstop!
