The Justice Ball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Justice Ball is an annual fundraiser for the Los Angeles based charity, Bet Tzedek Legal Services - The House of Justice. All net proceeds from this event directly benefit Bet Tzedek, which provides free legal assistance to more than 10,000 people of every racial and religious background every year. Founded in 1997 by board member Randall Kaplan, The Justice Ball is held each year in July. The event features live performances from well known musicians and attracts a crowd of 3,000. [1] [2]
The 12th Annual Justice Ball has been set for July 19, 2008 at The Lot in West Hollywood. Another awesome band to be announced shortly is slated to headline the event.
