FAIRFAX, Va. Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The Fairfax Law Foundation and George Mason University Jazz Ensemble present the Ninth Annual Jazz for Justice Concert Friday, October 29, 2010 at 8:00 PM in the George Mason University Center for the Arts Concert Hall. This concert will benefit the charitable endeavors of the Fairfax Law Foundation and the music scholarship fund at George Mason University.

Jazz 4 Justice the Fairfax Law Foundation's annual fund-raiser for its charitable services, will feature top jazz musicians and ensembles from George Mason University and the community.  "We're pleased to be able to showcase some very talented local artists and to support the Foundation's critical educational and charitable programs all in one very festive evening," said Ed Weiner, past president of the Foundation.  

The Fairfax Law Foundation, the charitable arm of the Fairfax Bar Association, was created in 1982 as a 501(c)(3) organization in order to conduct educational and charitable activities in support of the Fairfax community. The organization provides educational programs for area youth about the adverse legal effects and consequences of drug and alcohol abuse; arranges courthouse tours with education about the judicial system for 8^th grade students in Fairfax County; operates the Pro Bono Program, providing legal services for Fairfax County residents who cannot otherwise afford them; provides support for the Fairfax Public Law Library; and holds programs to counsel at-risk youth and victims of domestic violence.

"In the past year the concert has received a State award and National acclaim. With local and state governments operating under severe budget constraints, the Foundation's services have become even more critical," says Weiner. Individual tickets for the concert are $20.00 adults / $15.00 students and seniors, and corporate support is vital to success.
