2020 Virtual Benefit for Innocence


To visit our 2020 Benefit for Innocence website or to make a donation, click HERE!

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we are unable to host our annual Benefit for Innocence in person, but we have too much to celebrate to not bring everyone together. We hope you will join us virtually on October 8th at 7:00PM CST! The Benefit for Innocence is open to the public, and will be linked here and our social media on October 8th!

We are proud to announce our 2020 Benefit for Innocence keynote speaker, Dr. Yusef Salaam! Yusef, of the Exonerated Five, was wrongfully convicted at 15 years of age and sentenced to five to ten years in prison. Join us on October 8th to hear Yusef tell his story of wrongful conviction and exoneration.

In addition, an important part of our Benefit each year is our big fundraiser known as Fund-A-Need. We'll miss the excitement of bid paddles being raised in the air, but you can still participate and help us reach our goal by making a donation online. Gifts of all sizes help fuel our work!

Our goal for 2020 Fund-A-Need is $200,000!

We hope you will tune in to watch our 2020 Virtual Benefit for Innocence. Even if you can't watch it then, please consider donating to help us bring more innocent people home and improve the justice system!
