DEFINITELY A ZANY HOST COMMITTEE!

WHAT AN ECLECTIC CREW! GLAAD CERTAINLY DESERVES AN AWARD FOR THIS KIND OF DIVERSITY!

The National Board of Directors of GLAAD, President Herndon Graddick, this year’s Planning Committee and Co-Chairs Jessica Resler and Ted Shields invite you to join us for GLAAD’s annual casino-themed fundraiser. 

Join us for an enchanting summer evening with delicious food, great music, and hosted cocktails to celebrate and highlight GLAAD’s work and accomplishments. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction, receive gift bags, and purchase raffle tickets to win extraordinary prizes!

All funds raised at GLAAD Manhattan support GLAAD’s culture changing work - from standing up for Ellen DeGeneres after anti-LGBT activists called for her to be fired, to working alongside an Ohio mom to get the Boy Scouts of American to end its ban on gay scouts and scout leaders. These are the stories that are moving us closer to equality.
