“Jazz for Justice” the Fairfax Law Foundation’s annual fund-raiser for its charitable services, will feature top jazz musicians and ensembles from George Mason University and the community. “We’re pleased to be able to showcase some very talented local artists and to support the Foundation’s critical educational and charitable programs all in one very festive evening,” said Ed Weiner, past president of the Foundation.
The Fairfax Law Foundation is the charitable arm of the Fairfax Bar Association. The Foundation supports the Fairfax Public Law Library and various educational programs for Fairfax County students, including court tours for all eighth grade students in the County. The Foundation operates a Pro Bono Program that provides legal services for Fairfax County residents who cannot afford to pay for them. In addition, the Foundation offers programs for victims of domestic violence.”
“In the past year the concert has received a State award and National acclaim. “With local and state governments operating under severe budget constraints, the Foundation’s services have become even more critical,” says Weiner. This year the concert will again feature young Geoffrey Gallante, nine year old trumpeter extraordinaire. Geoffrey has always impressed the crowd by his musical talent and showmanship. Individual tickets for the concert are $20.00 adults / $15.00 students and seniors, and corporate support is vital to success.
