FOCUS ON THE FUTURE CELEBRATION
Saturday, October 22 | 6:00 PM
Broward Center for the Performing Arts - Mary Porter Ballroom
Our Community’s History & Culture Pave the Way
Celebration, Creativity, and Your input! Join us for an evening filled with surprise—designed to spark ideas, inspire conversation, and open new possibilities for moving forward.
Big energy, great food, open bar, and bringing people together. This isn’t a typical sit‑down dinner; it will make you feel like you were at Stonewall in June 1969, on the Supreme Court steps when Marriage Equality was announced, and at the White House when it was lit up like a rainbow. Together, we’ll fuel the work that ensures our stories and history make it into classrooms across the country, and no one will doubt that LGBTQ+ history is American History.
Have a BLAST Make a difference!
