Summer preview of the 2026 HRC Chicago Dinner

On July 15, we are bringing our whole community together for an upbeat, inspiring kick-off event that will set the stage for our most impactful fundraiser of the year.

Just as a tapestry is woven from threads of many colors, our community's strength lies in the connections we build together, growing stronger when we show up as our most colorful, authentic selves. This event is an opportunity to Connect, Weave, and Inspire, as we celebrate the vibrancy of the LGBTQ+ community and unite around our shared commitment to equality and justice. Attendees will also get a first look at our official dinner theme for the year. Whether you are a longtime advocate, a first-time supporter, or a corporate partner, this gathering is for you. 

Join us on July 15 from 6:30-8:30pm at Progress Bar in Northalsted as we begin our journey together toward our annual fundraising dinner on October 24, the proceeds of which go directly towards pro-equality legislation and candidate support.
