The Anniversary Dinner is a signature annual event that benefits Advancing Justice-LA through the generous support of many individuals, companies and foundations.
It celebrates the organization’s accomplishments throughout the year and highlights its year-round programs and services. Additionally, the organization honors those who have made a significant impact on the community. The event includes elected officials, community partners, members of the Asian American bar associations 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.
