On May 7, the Legal Aid Society of Roanoke Valley (LASRV) invites the community to step into elegance and purpose at its 5th Annual Tea for Justice, a beloved fundraiser supporting access to justice across our region. Guests are encouraged to don their most festive fascinators and bowties and join a day of celebration, connection, and impact.
This annual event features a delicious luncheon, traditional tea service, an exciting silent auction, live music by members of the Valley Chamber Orchestra, and keynote remarks from acclaimed local journalist and nationally recognized author Beth Macy, known for Dopesick, Raising Lazarus, and Factory Man. Her latest work, Paper Girl, was selected by President Barack Obama as one of his favorite books of 2025.

It’s truly one of the most inspiring and fun events of the year.”…
