Center Dinner

Center Dinner Co-Chairs, the Host Committee, and the Board of Directors of The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center invite you to join us on Thursday, April 13 for Center Dinner.
It is crucial that our community comes together to uphold LGBTQ+ rights, dignity, and opportunity. Center Dinner raises critical funds to support our life-saving and life-enhancing programs, while bringing together the LGBTQ+ community and our allies to celebrate those who are doing this work, and whose efforts help to build a more just and equitable world.
