38th Anniversary Virtual Gala

The anniversary dinner is a signature annual event that benefits Advancing Justice-LA
through the generous support of many individuals, companies and foundations.
 
At this event, we celebrate accomplishments throughout the year and
highlights year-round programs and services.  We honor those who have
made asignificant impact on the AANHPI community. The event includes
elected officials, community partners, cultural notables; and 
leaders from the corporate, legal and nonprofit sectors.
 
It has become one of the most anticipated fundraising events in the
Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities.

It is typically held in October in downtown Los Angeles.

This year, in the midst of ever-changing COVID-19 circumstances,
we will host a hybrid gala, with a virtual experience accessible by all and an
in-person VIP reception for top sponsors. Both the virtual and in-person galas
will be filled with excitement and valuable information. 
 
We hope you can join us.
