We don't have to tell you what is currently at stake in the fight for full equality. With the very real issues of racism and police brutality receiving the attention so long deserved and even in the middle of a national health emergency, the LGBTQ community is under attack.

Lambda Legal's annual events not only bring us together they provide more than $5 million in grassroots driven funding, raised by individuals and volunteer committees in communities nationwide. These funds, raised from friends, families, corporate and law firm employers, and our main street small businesses, represent one third of Lambda Legal's overall operating budget. Every ticket and sponsorship sold contributes toward this goal.

Supporting the events was never about the drinks, food or the fun party -- it was about you. It was about showing up for Lambda Legal and the Texas community, powerfully demonstrating a resolve to further the case for equality.
