With 600 guests and 27 generous sponsors, this year's benefit brought together a vibrant community for a lively evening set in Los Angeles glamour. 

LAF's 41st Annual Benefit was held on September 16, 2026 at The Belasco in Los Angeles. Set in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, the historic Belasco Theater provided a rich and ornate backdrop for a night filled with catching up with friends and making new connections. Beyond the celebration, the event helped support LAF and its key programs and initiatives that are investing in the people, ideas, and leadership of landscape architecture. Thank you to all who attended. 

The benefit celebrated the transformative work made possible by LAF's many friends, partners, and supporters. Guests enjoyed a variety of food stations, a dance floor, Photo Booth, and more.
