You’ve Been Served
An Evening of Celebrating Justice

On Saturday, June 13, 2026, the Legal Aid Society of San Diego hosted its annual You’ve Been Served Gala at The Bahia Resort Hotel. The evening was marked by custom cocktails themed to different legal aid program areas, special guests, and performances, bringing together the community for an unforgettable night. Themed “You’ve Been Served,” the evening honored the dedication to service and the resilience of the community at the heart of the organization’s work.
