Jacqueline Hattar (Partner-White Plains, NY) will co-host and co-sponsor the Pace Women's Justice Center (PWJC) Raising the Bar Benefit Concert on October 24, 2025, at the Capital Theatre in Portchester, New York. Raising the Bar is the PWJC’s largest annual fundraising event, named to reflect the center’s mission of increasing access to justice by providing free legal services for victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and elder abuse. The funds raised will allow the PWJC to continue helping clients on their journeys toward empowerment and healing. The concert will feature performances by the Grammy-winning artists Shawn Colvin and Colbie Caillat. Jackie is a long-time member of the PWJC Advisory Board and received the Center's Making a Difference Award in 2018. She also is a member of the Board of Visitors of the Elizabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University.
