The Justice Resounding Gala

September 19, 2024, at The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond

This theme for our 50th anniversary—Justice Resounding—reflects our greatest aspiration: a Virginia where every person has access to justice.

What the VLF has accomplished in the past 50 years resounds today, and as we look to the future, we recognize that what we do today will resound in our community in the fifty years to come.

The Justice Resounding Gala is a formal occasion to gather our statewide community to celebrate our 50th anniversary milestone and the legal community that has made it possible. This evening is set to:

Honor the past five decades of dedication to the legal community and Virginians

Gather our community, known and new, to celebrate this milestone and the many people who have invested in the mission of the Foundation

Build momentum for a future of impact through partnerships and commitments to a shared mission

Celebrate with Yo-Yo Ma.
