đź”™ Back to the Drive

Thursday, October 23, 2025
🕕 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
📍 The Venue, Wilton Manors

One Night. Big Stars. Bold Impact.

The countdown begins! Back to the Drive isn’t just a party—it’s a high-voltage celebration with a purpose. This unforgettable evening fuels the Stonewall National Education Program, empowering educators to bring LGBTQ+ history, voices, and truth into classrooms across the country.

🌟 Special Guest: Eugene Daniels

Stonewall is proud to welcome Eugene Daniels, MSNBC’s Senior Washington Correspondent and co-host of The Weekend, as our special guest.
Eugene isn’t just a dynamic voice in political journalism—he led the 2025 White House Correspondents’ Dinner as the association’s president, delivering powerful remarks that championed press freedom and the role of journalism in democracy. His leadership and eloquence at one of Washington’s most high-profile events made headlines and inspired journalists nationwide.

Now, he’s bringing that same energy, insight, and charisma to Back to the Drive—and you do not want to miss it.

🎤 Star Power Meets Social Change

From Billy Porter to Jacqueline Bisset to the cast of Latter Days, past headliners have lit up the stage and stirred hearts. This year, with Eugene Daniels joining the lineup, expect bold conversation, surprise appearances, and electric moments that remind us what happens when community and cause collide.

✨ Why It Matters

Your ticket isn’t just entry—it’s impact. Every dollar supports inclusive curriculum, affirming classrooms, and the preservation of queer stories for generations to come.

Be there. Be loud. Be proud.
Back to the Drive. With Eugene Daniels.
Let’s make history together.
