WE DID IT AGAIN!

What a night at Law Rocks Seattle 2026!
The Funk Docket brought the house down and took home the Judges’ Choice Award, rocking the stage in support of the Academy for Creating Excellence (ACE)!
We are incredibly grateful to The Funk Docket, Schroeter Goldmark & Bender, our supporters, donors, and everyone who showed up and showed out for ACE. Every cheer, every donation, and every moment of support helps us continue investing in young people, educators, and the communities we serve.

ACE Academy raised just under $20,000!!!

Law Rocks Seattle raised more than $92,000 for local nonprofits this year—and we’re honored to have been part of such an incredible night of music, community, and impact.
Three years. Three unforgettable nights. Another win for ACE. 🏆🎸
Thank you, Seattle! Until next year.
