Equality Illinois 2026 Gala

Please join us at the Equality Illinois 2026 Gala! After the challenges of this year and the fight still ahead, we invite you to celebrate the strength, uniqueness, and resilience of our LGBTQ+ community. At this year’s Gala, we will share the story of how our community continues to fight for progress and carve out victories, even in the face of those who seek to drag us backward.

As always, the evening will feature dinner, open bars, a silent auction, and a powerful message about our fight and the path forward. We will also recognize and uplift Illinois’ own heroes in equality, with some truly inspiring honorees to be announced soon.

Tickets, Sponsorship and Host Committee opportunities are now open!
