In 2025, Legal Counsel for the Elderly is celebrating 50 years of improving lives for older adults across DC. Thanks to the support of the DC community, tens of thousands of people have
benefited from more stable housing, increased economic security, control of their future, and reliable health and safety supports. Join us on November 6, 2025, to celebrate 50 years of
championing the dignity and rights of Washington, D.C.'s elders by providing free legal and social work services to those in need – DEFENDING, PROTECTING, and EMPOWERING vulnerable
seniors. ABOUT THE EVENT Join hundreds of committed community leaders on November 6 from 6:30 – 9 PM at the International Spy Museum (700 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, DC) to celebrate
50 years of impact – while we also look boldly to the future. Enjoy food, drink, live music, and the company of Oscar-nominated director and producer LEE DANIELS. Tickets will go on sale

campaign to raise $1 million from individuals to support LCE’s growing impact on DC’s older adults. Led by a Campaign Committee composed of LCE’s Board of Directors, Advisory Committee,
