Join us on Thursday, October 24, 2024, from 5:30 – 8:30 PM at The Grand (520 4th St, San Francisco) for ALRP’s 41st Annual Reception!

This beloved tradition brings together hundreds of friends in the local legal community who make our work possible. Proceeds support ALRP’s vital role in advancing and protecting the rights, dignity, and health of people living with HIV/AIDS in the Bay Area.

Guests will enjoy an open bar with ample hors d’oeuvres.

Our Honorees:

Bruce Vilanch, two-time Emmy Award winner, will be honored for his extraordinary record of volunteering his voice, time, and talent in support of organizations serving people living with HIV/AIDS and the LGBT community, and for unflinchingly and hilariously challenging and lampooning homophobia and political extremism.

A social worker by profession and a principled advocate for justice, Congresswoman Barbara Lee was first elected in 1998 to represent California’s 9th Congressional District. Congresswoman Lee will be honored for her lifelong dedication to achieving an AIDS-free generation, including authoring or co-authoring every major piece of federal HIV/AIDS legislation since she was elected.

Michael Rooney joined ALRP as a Panel Attorney in 2007 and has accepted 36 referrals since that time, often going above and beyond to support clients on multiple matters. In 2023, he contributed over 200 hours of pro bono time to ALRP, including work on two affirmative housing cases for ALRP clients. We are excited to honor him as our Attorney of the Year.

Additional special guests to be announced soon!
