The San Diego County Bar Foundation held its 27th annual “Evening in La Jolla” event at the Scripps Seaside Forum, raising money for legal services for a variety of vulnerable populations. The event, which is a signature benefit for the San Diego legal community, aims to support immigrants, asylum seekers, low-income residents, survivors of domestic violence, people with disabilities, veterans, homeless individuals, and at-risk youths. In 2023, the foundation awarded $390,000 to 25 nonprofit organizations that provide these critical legal services. The funds also go towards public awareness education, ensuring that those in need are aware of their rights and options. The event was attended by legal professionals and community members, coming together to support a noble cause and make a difference in the lives of those who are most in need of legal assistance. The San Diego County Bar Foundation’s commitment to providing access to justice and support for underserved populations is evident in their continued efforts to raise funds and awareness for these important causes. Through events like “Evening in La Jolla,” the foundation is able to make a significant impact and help those who may otherwise not have access to legal services.
