Legal Aid Programs in Broward County to Honor Belinda Keiser and Ed Zebersky During 20th Annual For the Public Good Gala Fundraiser

Thursday, October 6, 2022, at 6 p.m. at Signature Grand

PLANTATION, Fla., Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrating the past, looking to the future, is the theme for the 20th Annual For the Public Good Gala fundraiser presented by Kelley Kronenberg and Justice for Kids. Legal Aid programs of Broward County will host the much-anticipated event on Thursday, October 6, 2022, at 6 p.m. at Signature Grand (6900 State Road 84, Davie).

During the event, both Legal Aid Service of Broward County (LAS) and Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South Florida (CCLA) will honor two prestigious community members who have made a tremendous difference to these organizations, the cause of equal justice, and the local community. Honoree Belinda Keiser, Vice Chancellor of Community Relations and Student Advancement of Keiser University will receive the Tony Karrat Excellence in Community Service Award. Honoree Edward Zebersky, Esq., Partner at Zebersky Payne Shaw Lewenz, LLP, will receive the Honorable Thomas Lynch Excellence in Justice Award.

"It is important that we bring attention to these two diligent community leaders for advancing the very programs that serve the underprivileged and positively impact the economy in Broward County," said Brent Thompson, Executive Director of Legal Aid Service of Broward County. "As we celebrate the LAS organization's almost 50-year history in the community, we are thrilled to be looking to the future with Belinda and Ed, our legal professionals, and community leaders at large by our side."

LAS Board Chair Douglas H. Reynolds, Esq. of Tripp Scott and CCLA's Board Chair Carlos E. Sandoval, Esq. of Carlos E. Sandoval P.A. welcome all to the For the Public Good Gala fundraiser that will host more than 400 lawyers, judges, and members of the business community. Event attendees will enjoy an evening of networking, cocktails, and a seated dinner program emceed by NBC Miami's Sheli Muniz.

Proceeds from the event will enable LAS and CCLA to continue to provide free civil legal representation, advice, and education to more than 20,000 eligible clients in need, including children, seniors, veterans, homeless persons, persons living with HIV/AIDS, survivors of domestic violence and other crimes, families facing eviction, and unaccompanied immigrant minors in our communities.

"As we celebrate this year's Gala fundraiser, we will be reflecting on the last 19 years of CCLA's service of providing voices to our at-risk populations," said Lisa Goldberg, Executive Director for Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South Florida. "Without people like our honorees Belinda and Ed, our many judges, and pro bono attorneys who have truly supported our organizations, we wouldn't be able to continue providing these critically needed resources to the community."
