Akerman is proud to sponsor the 2026 Butterfly Ball, presented by Chrysalis, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals overcome barriers to employment. Since its inception 25 years ago, the Butterfly Ball has raised more than $21 million in support of that mission. The evening brings the community together in support of a future where everyone has the opportunity to work and thrive.

This year's event will celebrate and honor distinguished leaders in the business and entertainment industries whose dedication and service have driven meaningful, transformative change throughout the community. This year’s principal honoree is Jared Wolff, CEO of Banc of California.
