Miami beach, FL – October 22, 2022 – On October 22, the national LGBTQ Task Force held its 26th annual gala at the Miami Beach Convention center honoring LGBTQ+ advocate X Gonzalez, MSNBC and Washington Post journalist Jonathan Capehart, and longtime allies, the Gadinsky family. Presented by Truist, the theme of 26th annual gala was “Red, White & You,” emphasizing the National LGBTQ Task Force’s “Queer the Vote” campaign and the community’s work to mobilize voters to participate in this critical midterm election year. Over 780 guests attended the premier South Florida LGBTQ+ event, enabling the organization to raise over $900,000, exceeding the previous record by over $150,000.

Because of the tremendous fundraising at the annual gala and the Task Force’s Winter Party Festival, the Task Force has given away over $3.3 Million to vital LGBTQ+ community services in South Florida, in partnership with the LGBTQ Community Fund at the Miami Foundation. This year, a sizable portion of proceeds will go to support the LGBTQ+ Equity Fund.
