Enjoy an evening of celebration, camaraderie, and surprises while making a lasting impact on one of the greatest challenges our city faces today.

Our goal is for 100% of our guests, allies, partners, and volunteers to make a financial contribution. There will be plenty of ways to do so. Your contributions allow us to continue providing critical support and legal services.

Fifty percent of the funds raised will go towards our Legal Services Programs, focusing on legal representation at court serving seniors and single mothers facing imminent risk of deportation. If you cannot attend, you can also make a tax-deductible donation.
