The Equality Illinois Annual Gala is taking place on Saturday, February 5, 2022, at the Hilton Chicago. One of the largest LGBTQ equality gatherings in the country each year, the Gala celebrates the power and energy of the LGBTQ community in Illinois. We will celebrate the work of Kim Hunt (Executive Director of Pride Action Tank), the Abe & Ida Cooper Foundation, and GenderCool for the tremendous impact they have had on our community in Illinois. We will gather public officials, business leaders, community champions, LGBTQ stakeholders, and allies alike to celebrate our accomplishments and commit to moving forward together.

The Gala features a very popular silent auction that is a great way to promote your business while gaining exposure to new audiences. With nearly 1,500 attendees, including more than 100 political figures and community VIPS, Equality Illinois is excited to celebrate the accomplishments that advanced LGBTQ rights over the last year and hear a call to arms about the challenges that remain in our fight for full equality for all Illinoisans.

Equality Illinois will display your logo/graphics at the event, on printed and electronic materials, and you will be listed as a silent auction donor in our Gala program book.
