Soirée 2023

The San Francisco City View Metreon was filled to capacity on the evening of Saturday, April 15, with supporters and friends of the San Francisco LGBT Community Center. The gala is the largest annual fundraising event for The Center and has a fundraising goal of $300,000 to support ongoing programs and services. The Center’s executive director, Rebecca Rolfe, welcomed guests to the gala that has been conducted annually for the past 21 years since The Center first opened in March 2002. In addition to the sold-out dinner, the evening also included a pre-event cocktail party and post-event after party. Live entertainment was coordinated by Juanita MORE!, and returning emcees were Sister Roma and Honey Mahogany. Michael Tate served as auctioneer.

Music for the evening included tunes spun by DJ LadyRyan, and songs by performers including Tory Teasley who launched her career in part through The Center’s “Queer Vibes” program that supports queer performers as they enter the music industry.

The San Francisco Bay Times extends special thanks to Danielle Siragusa, The Center’s director of development and communications.
