About the Task Force Gala
The National LGBTQ Task Force Gala is the premier annual celebration of South Florida’s LGBTQ+ community. The Gala is a night for LGBTQ+ people and their supporters to unite as a community, honor our heroes, and support the work of advancing equality for all LGBTQ+ people and their families. The National LGBTQ Task Force produces the event.
In addition to fueling the Task Force’s initiatives, a significant portion of funds raised at the Gala are donated back to local organizations serving the South Florida LGBTQ+ community. The gala is also the premier celebration for the South Florida LGBTQ+ community and a forum for honoring local and national leaders of the movement.
