STONEWALL FUNDRAISER

FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

A DIVIDED AMERICA Thursday, October 22 | 6:00 PM
Broward Center - Mary Porter Ballroom

Where does media go from here? Join Stonewall for an evening of honest conversation about the future of truth-telling in a fractured media landscape. This year’s program brings together two distinguished voices in national journalism for a candid, timely dialogure on trusht, accountability, and whether any single messenger can still move the needle toward shared, reliable facts.

The event includes dinner, open bar, and complimentary valet service.  Your participation supports Stonewall’s national education inititatives and strengthens our community’s access to reliable, fact-based information.

JOIN STONEWALL AND BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION – BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.

CHARLES PEREZ
Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist.

Charles Perez is an Emmy‑winning broadcast journalist whose career has spanned national newsrooms, local anchors desks, and decades of advocacy for truth and equality in media. Best known for his work with ABC, CNN, and Miami’s WPLG, Perez became a powerful symbol of resilience and representation after being fired for being gay—a moment he later chronicled in his memoir Confessions of a Gay Anchorman. His reporting, commentary, and public speaking continue to champion integrity in journalism, LGBTQ+ visibility, and the urgent need for accountable storytelling in a rapidly shifting media landscape.

DAVID OVALLE
Award-winning reporter for The New York Times.

David Ovalle is an award‑winning journalist and the Florida correspondent for The New York Times, where he brings national attention to the state’s most complex legal, political, and human stories. Before joining The Times, Ovalle spent three years at The Washington Post covering addiction, illegal drugs, and public health policy, and two decades at the Miami Herald, where his deep sourcing and incisive reporting on crime and courts helped earn a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news coverage of the Surfside condo collapse. Known for his precision, empathy, and ability to spot a powerful story a mile away, Ovalle continues to shape public understanding of Florida’s justice system and the communities most affected by it.
