A NIGHT OF GLAMOUR, PURPOSE, AND EMPOWERMENT AWAITS

Join us on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at 7 PM at Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles for REACH LA’s most spectacular gala yet! Hosted by the iconic Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change, this unforgettable evening will raise vital funds to support mental health services and creative expression programs for LGBTQIA+ people of color and their communities.

From free mental health therapy to arts initiatives like dance, photography, poetry, music, and studio access, REACH LA has been a lifeline for thousands. In the wake of increased demand, this year’s gala is critical in ensuring we continue to offer 100% free services with no barriers or red tape.

WHY THIS GALA MATTERS

REACH LA has engaged, empowered, and celebrated LGBTQIA+ people of color and their communities for over 33 years, providing essential programs that uplift, inspire, and heal. Since the election, demand for our services has soared, and we expect even greater need in the years to come.

With your help, we can ensure that everyone who knocks on our door receives the support they need to thrive. The gala will feature performances, awards, and more, gala tickets can be purchased for $300 each or $3,000 per table!

Our fundraising goal: $500,000.
