LAF 36th Annual Benefit
With 490 guests and 18 generous sponsors, this event raised $256,000 to support LAF research, scholarships, and leadership programs.
LAF's 36th Annual Benefit was held on November 19, 2021 at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. Thank you to all who attended — it was so great to see you in person! With the backdrop of the Music City skyline from the soaring 40-ft windows, guests enjoyed catching up and dancing to a live genre-spanning band.
The benefit celebrated the transformative work that your support makes possible. 2021 LAF Medal recipient Karen A. Phillips, FASLA received the award and gave brief remarks. The benefit also recognized the exceptional students named as 2021 LAF Olmsted Scholars.

The LAF Annual Benefit is always a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new connections. Attendees include well-known designers, rising leaders, professors, suppliers, emerging professionals, and students. The short program allows plenty of time for introductions and interaction.
As LAF's first in-person gathering after more than a year of virtual events, the 2021 Annual Benefit felt especially convivial. We met many of our 2020 and 2021 scholarship winners and program participants for the first time and connected with new and long-time supporters. The program recognized 2021 LAF Medal recipient Karen Phillips and the 2021 LAF Olmsted Scholars in attendance.
In addition to food and an open bar, this year's event included a live band and dancing befitting of the Music City locale.
