QCAD Out For Good 35th Anniversary Celebration

QCAD Out For Good is celebrating 35 years and we want you to join us!

Join us at the Quad City Botanical Center for a variety of appetizers, guest speakers , and more! Whether you're a long-time supporter or new to the community, this event is for everyone.



Quad Citians Affirming Diversity is the longest standing queer organization in the Quad Cities region that provides resources, advocacy, and support to the LGBTQIA+ community.

Founded in 1990 by Joyce and Jack Wiley, QCAD initially focused on providing a supportive, safe environment for youth of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Over time, we've expanded services to support people of all ages. What began as a safe space evolved into the leading organization focused on LGBTQIA+ issues and resources. We continue advocacy efforts to promote public awareness, safety, and support creating an inclusive community for all. An example of that work is our current and ongoing initiative: SafeConnect. A network of inclusive businesses in the Quad Cities.
