On Thursday, June 19, the Western Center on Law & Poverty will hold the fifth annual "Fair Shake," a fun and sophisticated "Party with a Purpose". This year’s honorees are Becky Dennison of LA Community Action Network and Chris Gabriel of P.O.W.E.R., two unheralded young professionals working to ensure affordable housing on behalf of low-income Californians.

With Comedian Scott Krinsky, who has appeared on "Chuck" and performs regularly at The Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store, as our MC, the 2008 Fair Shake Awards party will be held at Falcon in Hollywood. "The Fair Shake" is created and hosted by Western Center's Advisory Board, and is always a great evening out.

Individual tickets are $75, Law Firm and Corporate tickets are $100, Sponsorships range from $1000 for 8 tickets - $10,000 for 40 tickets, with profits going to support WCLP, a non-profit poverty law advocacy organization. Tickets entitle the holder to entry, one drink ticket, appetizers catered by Falcon, and music spun by a terrific DJ. There will also be a drawing for incredible prizes.

Western Center is dedicated to advancing and enforcing the rights of low-income Californians to the basic necessities of life by working statewide for systemic change. Founded in 1967, WCLP has litigated and won cases before the highest courts in the land - suits that have become landmarks for poverty law attorneys not just in California but throughout the country. In 1972, WCLP opened one of the first lobbying offices in the country dedicated exclusively to representing the interests of the poor before the Legislature, so that their hard-won legal victories would not be undone by backroom political deals. WCLP's continuing commitment to excellence helps ensure that all Californians get a "fair shake."
