28th Annual Access to Justice Gala

It is our pleasure to invite you to join the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles in celebrating our 28th Annual Access to Justice Gala on Thursday, October 29, 2026 at the Beverly Wilshire. Our gala supports LAFLA's mission for equal justice through sponsorships, ticket sales, donations, and a silent auction.

This year's honorees include:

• Corporate Impact Award: Mattel, Inc., accepted by Jonathan Anschell, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary
• Maynard Toll Award for Public Service: Lisa Gilford, Partner, Sidley Austin LLP
• Pro Bono Service Award: Davis Wright Tremaine and Jonathan Segal, Partner

The Access to Justice Gala is an opportunity not only to pay well deserved tribute to these distinguished honorees, but also to celebrate LAFLA’s dedicated staff in their efforts to ensure that no one in our community is denied access to our civil justice system because of poverty.

Learn how you can support. For questions, please contact Alyson Sprafkin, Chief Development Director, at ATJGala@lafla.org.
