Since its inception in 1982, Black Tie Dinner has been the largest fundraising dinner in the nation for the LGBTQ community. Each year, Black Tie Dinner selects up to 20 North Texas beneficiaries to receive dinner proceeds as well as the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the Dinner's national beneficiary. For 2023, The Women's Chorus of Dallas is honored to be one of the beneficiaries.

Each year, incredible experiences, artwork, furniture, services, and more are generously donated by beneficiaries, sponsors, and supporters. The items are included in the live auction during the dinner program and in the silent auction available during dinner weekend!
