With this year’s theme, “Bridging the Future,” we honor Pittsburgh’s rich legacy of unity while looking boldly forward.

Guests are greeted at registration with a glass of sparkling wine to kick off the event, and then continue the VIP only experience enjoying a variety of professionally curated wine and chef selected cheese pairings and appearances by local leaders, dignitaries and other special guests. VIP ticket holders also receive complimentary valet service, an exclusive 'Thank You gift' and access to all other GA benefits. VIP tickets are extremely limited and will sell out

Dress to Impress – City Elegance, In Color – An elevated look, drawing color inspiration – both big and small - from the progress pride flag
More than just a gala, “Bridging the Future” is a movement. Together, we will celebrate the resilience of our community, uplift diverse voices and identities, and raise critical funds to ensure the Pittsburgh Equality Center’s impact continues to grow for generations to come.
