A Place at the Table 2024
Thursday, May 9, 2024
6 PM | Cipriani Wall Street
A Place at the Table is our annual spring gala, which welcomes over 1000 community leaders and allies of the global LGBTQ+ community for a star-studded night of fundraising and celebration. Join us for dinner, special presentations, and performances as we gather to raise millions to support our LGBTQ+ homeless youth.
We are delighted to announce that the hilariously talented, Julio Torres, best known for Problemista & Los Espookys, will be our esteemed host for the evening. Performances by Broadway sensation T. Oliver Reid, Co-Founder of BLACK THEATRE COALITION, and Billboard-charting, independent vocalist, Madison Rose, will add an extra layer of magic to the evening. Our 2024 Ali Forney Award recipient is Lucina Rodriguez, a proud graduate of The Ali Forney Center and our culinary internship.
