Public Counsel’s 20th Annual Run For Justice

For 20 years, the signature orange t-shirts of Public Counsel’s “Run for Justice” participants have brightened the streets of Los Angeles, as teams comprised of SoCal’s top law firms, major corporations, and invaluable community members have gathered to raise vital funds to support Public Counsel. This is one of our largest events of the year. Your participation, individual fundraising, and enthusiasm are crucial to helping us reach our goal of sustaining our life-saving work.

We hope you will consider forming a team, joining a team, or signing up on your own. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to support Public Counsel in a fun and healthy way!

On the morning of the LA Big 5k, we meet at the Stadium Club in Dodger Stadium and Public Counsel hosts a pre-race and post-race gathering with breakfast food, green-screen photos, music, and more! Run for Justice participants are also welcome to participate in the full LA Marathon on Sunday, March 19.

Public Counsel is proud to be an official charity of the Los Angeles Marathon and LA Big 5k‘s Nonprofit Partner Program and holds this event in coordination with these races.
