The Beer Tasting & BBQ Battle is a collaborative effort of the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation and Atlanta Legal Aid Society to raise funds – and awareness – to support critical programs administered by each organization in the Atlanta area. This event attracted 800 attendees in 2016 and is open to all members of – and those touched by – the legal community. Join us for the premier legal event of the summer, held this year at Park Tavern. beertastingevent.org

With our role in the Atlanta legal community in mind, Legal Aid brings you Cocktails & Connections, a corporate auction fundraiser. The purpose of this ticket-limited event is to facilitate introductions and business opportunities between our many committed volunteers. Tickets include a buffet, an open bar and access to the bidding. Attendees can bid for the rights to have lunch with the corporate counsels of various corporations – the life blood of corporate law offices. Join us for an evening of networking! cocktailsconnections.org

Picturing Justice is a photography and video exhibition presented by Atlanta Legal Aid Society in conjunction with Atlanta Celebrates Photography. Documentary photographers explore diverse social justice issues, with attention to key focus areas for the work of Atlanta Legal Aid. These artists tell stories of place and cultural identity. Their imagery and personal narratives provide a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by vulnerable populations in Atlanta and throughout the US, highlighting the important work done by Legal Aid on their behalf.  picturingjustice.org

The Brickyard plays host to the hopefuls battling it out to be the karaoke and lip-syncing star. This is your chance to have fun and go local! All proceeds will benefit Legal Aid of Cobb County/Cobb Justice Foundation, dedicated to helping low-income residents with civil legal issues including protection from domestic violence, home defense, family law, and wills. mariettajusticejam.org
