15th Annual HRC Utah Dinner

The HRC Utah Steering Committee and Dinner Team cordially invite you to join us in an elegant evening of togetherness and community. The 15th Annual Utah Dinner brings together nearly 1,000 of HRC Utah’s members, friends, families, and allies for an evening of inspiration and celebration at the landmark Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City.

The evening begins with a cocktail reception, where guest mingle while they review a dazzling array of silent auction items. The action then moves to the ballroom, for a memorable dinner followed by thought-provoking speakers and live entertainment.

This event regularly attracts some of Utah’s leading-edge businesses and political figures, and it has become one of the “must-attend” events of the year. Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of history as we celebrate the LGBTQ milestones achieved and rise to face the many challenges still ahead.

Saturday, July 20, 4–11 pm, The Grand America Hotel, 555 S Main St. Tickets at hrcutah.org

Trans family pool party

The Trans Family Pool Party makes a splash return this summer to celebrate the god-awful heat with cold water and fabulous trans families and friends. Trans and gender non-conforming parents and kids can dive in and have the White Towers Pool all to yourselves, surrounded by a friendly, supportive community. The event is on Sunday, July 21, 3:30-8 pm, at White Towers swimming pool, 998 E. Larkspur Dr (10384 S), White City, Utah. As always, no one turned away for lack of funds, but donations are welcome.

There will be burgers, hot dogs, plates, napkins provided by the Transgender Education Advocates of Utah and TransAction. The rest of the potluck will be divided as follows, so please bring a dish: Surnames A–I salads, J–R desserts, S–Z snacks (chips, cookies, etc.)

Contact the TEA of Utah or TransAction with any questions, ideas or comments. As with many of their programs, they strive to make this accessible to all families and individuals. Please let them know if you need any accommodations that would help your family participate to the fullest.

This year’s sponsor is Friar Tuck’s Barbershop
