We’re excited to announce our second annual gala!

The funds raised from this formal evening will benefit the LGBTQ Center of the Cape Fear Coast, supporting advocacy, outreach, and programs that make a meaningful impact on LGBTQ+ lives in our region.

Award nominations to honor community members who have made a difference for our local LGBTQ+ community. There are three awards, the Community Champion award, for a person who has made a significant impact over the past year, the Rainbow Legacy award for a committed mentor or community advocate, and the Ally of the Year award for a non-LGBTQ individual with an outstanding impact. There is a QR code for nominations at the bottom left of the poster.

You can also nominate your fellow community members (and allies!) to receive recognition at bit.ly/lgbtqawards. Submissions are open until August 9th, so don’t miss this chance to highlight your local heroes!
