The Bon Foster gala—Lambda Legal's annual civil-rights celebration—will take place Thursday, April 18, 6-10 p.m., at Morgan Manufacturing, 401 N. Morgan St.

There will be an open bar, an hors d'oeuvres reception and entertainment.

The Bon Foster Celebration is named after Robert Bonvouloir "Bon" Foster, a Chicago advocate in the early days of the HIV epidemic who opposed injustice and resisted discrimination. Last year's event honored the founding attorney of the Midwest office, Patricia Logue.
