This Year’s Event


The 2022 Task Force Gala

For the 26th Annual Task Force Gala, we return to the spectacular Grand Ballroom of the Miami Beach Convention Center on Saturday, October 22. The evening features a cocktail reception, a sprawling and spectacular silent auction, a sit-down dinner, an awards ceremony, and an After Party with a DJ and dancing.

In addition to buying tickets, there are many ways you and your company/organization can support the Task Force Gala:

Become a sponsor or underwriter
Become a table captain
Donate to our silent auction
Purchase an ad in our journal

No matter how you choose to support the National LGBTQ Task Force Gala, your contributions are appreciated by the Task Force and our volunteer event committee.
