49th Annual Gala Celebration & Awards

(In-Person Event with Dinner)

“Nos comprometemos a buscar justicia para nuestra comunidad – Promising to Pursue Justice for our Community”

Come celebrate with us on Friday, September 30, 2022, at 5:00 PM! The Bay Area legal community, together with our supporters, will gather in-person at the S.F. Center for Performing Arts Green Room, for La Raza Centro Legal San Francisco’s 49th Gala Awards Celebration. This annual event and fundraiser highlights our legal aid’s work over the previous year to advocate for the civil and human rights of our low income and immigrant clientele, and to build the just and equitable society we strive to achieve. The Gala celebrates significant contributions of leaders who are visionaries, through their contributions to the pursuit of justice; humanitarian efforts; and legal enfranchisement and innovation. LRCL SF is an award-winning community legal aid that depends on sponsors like you, to provide the excellent, free legal services our team of bilingual expert attorneys offer across three departments: Immigration Law, Workers’ Rights, and Elder & Disability Law. You are cordially invited to join us.
