💰 Support Legal Aid

The proceeds from Jaunt for Justice 5K will benefit The Legal Aid Society of Roanoke Valley. LASRV is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides legal services to individuals who would not otherwise be able to afford it.

🤝 Mission Statement

• Advocacy: Publicly and privately funded, LASRV works to protect marginalized individuals from abuse and exploitation.
• Services: From domestic violence to consumer fraud and landlord-tenant disputes, LASRV is committed to protecting the vulnerable from predators of all types.
• Experience: For more than half a century, LASRV has represented clients in State and Federal courts, provided community training, and advocated for under-served communities.

🌍 Virtual Participation

If you are unable to participate in the run/walk in person, but would still like to participate and support LASRV, we invite you to sign up for the Virtual Jaunt instead. Participants who register for the Virtual Jaunt for Justice 5K will not be chip-timed and will not be competing for a medal, but will still receive a race packet with event T-shirt and race bib.

🙌 Join Us!

We hope you will join us to help LASRV provide free legal services to under-served and marginalized members of our community.
