Bobzien-Gaither Education Center

News 22nd February 2022

The Bobzien-Gaither Education Center

4801 Cox Road
Suite 108 
Glen Allen, VA 23060

The Bobzien-Gaither Education Center, which opened in April 2022, is a state-of-the-art teaching facility in the Innsbrook area of suburban Richmond. The BGEC offers a hybrid model of both live and online teaching where Virginia CLE®, the educational division of the Virginia Law Foundation, presents live-on-site programs and high-quality, simultaneous, live-interactive webcasts. While continuing education is its focus, the BGEC is also a place to gather with members of the community, celebrate the Foundation’s philanthropic initiatives, and host a variety of events.

This Center is named in memory of two treasured members of the Virginia Law Foundation community: David Bobzien and Marcus Gaither. David was a past president of the Virginia State Bar and the Virginia Law Foundation, a longtime chair of the Foundation’s CLE Committee, and an esteemed leader in the legal community. Marcus, who joined the Virginia Law Foundation staff after his professional basketball career, held several key positions, including Director of Outreach, Director of Digital Marketing, and Director of Information Technology, and was a dear friend to many during his tenure.

To honor their impact, the Virginia Law Foundation has established the Friends of David and Marcus, a giving opportunity for individuals, firms, and organizations to honor the legacies of David and Marcus and support the mission of the Virginia Law Foundation. When you become an inaugural supporter of the Bobzien-Gaither Education Center, your support helps create a space where many can learn, grow, and celebrate the legacies of David and Marcus.

Become a Friend of David and Marcus

The Virginia Law Foundation invites you to signify your appreciation for the impact made by David and Marcus by making a $100 contribution. In addition to honoring these two individuals, your gift supports ongoing education programming, philanthropic initiatives, and expanded community engagement. When you become an inaugural supporter, you will receive:

  • Permanent recognition on the donor wall in the Bobzien-Gaither Education Center
  • Permanent recognition on our virtual donor wall on both the Virginia Law Foundation’s website and Virginia CLE®’s website
  • Acknowledgment in the Virginia Law Foundation’s 2022 Annual Report
  • Exclusive invites to Bobzien-Gaither Education Center events
