Six Bands. Three Hundred Screaming Fans. One Powerful Cause.
Banding Together to End Domestic Violence is an annual attorney battle-of the-bands fundraiser featuring lawyers who rock out for a good cause. Held annually in San Francisco, bands from California’s most philanthropic law firms and corporate legal teams compete in this epic musical battle for the coveted title: Best Lawyer Band in The Bay.
Though the competition is fierce, these rock star attorneys band together to raise thousands of dollars for survivors of domestic violence. All funds raised benefit Family Violence Appellate Project (FVAP), the only nonprofit in California dedicated to providing free appellate legal services to domestic violence survivors who need to appeal dangerous trial court decisions that leave them or their kids at risk of ongoing abuse.
