The evening of May 15, 2017, the National Juvenile Defender Center hosted the Gault at 50 Gala at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. We’re grateful for the generosity of our attendees, donors, and sponsors whose contributions from near and far made the gala a success.
Our speakers and performers that evening — Master of Ceremonies Jarrett Adams, Keynote Speaker Adam Foss, and the Howard Gospel Choir — stirred a powerful energy that we hope will transform into action in the months ahead. We need you to continue to stand with, and for, children and juvenile defenders on the front lines of court.
The stories, the songs, and the inspiration we shared together are more than words — they’re a path forward to tip the scales of justice toward fairness and equity for children. And thankfully, our Gault at 50 awardees Patricia Puritz and Robert Listenbee, have already paved that path with such grace, vision, and leadership. Now it’s our turn to follow. Take a look at photos from the gala and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for future updates. Please also consider making a special donation in support of NJDC as we carry the momentum forward into the work that still awaits.
