“The Unity Soiree,” hosted by Kaleidoscope Youth Center

Friday, October 14, 6-8pm, Kelton House Museum and Garden, 586 E. Town St.

The Unity Soiree is free to attend, but registration is requested!

MC’ed by The Buckeye Flame’s Editor, Ken Schneck (He/Him), this year’s event will feature a keynote from our 2022 Community Freedom Fighter honoree, LuSter P. Singleton (He/They), music from Urban Strings, a traveling exhibit from the Ohio History Connection’s Gay Ohio History Initiative, the announcement of our Andrew Levitt Spirit of Kindness honoree, a 50/50 raffle, plus so much more!

100% of proceeds from the event will be invested back into LGBTQIA+ youth in our community.

Attire is casual, but you’re encouraged to wear your favorite advocacy-related shirt, pin, hat, etc!

Over the past two years, we’ve seen upwards of 250 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills introduced to state legislatures, many in our very own state of Ohio. These ill-informed, biased, fear-based, and egregious attempts at governing are forcing public conversations discussing the private lives, bodies, and ultimately, the humanity of our youth.

Enough is enough.

Kaleidoscope Youth Center (KYC) stands for the humanity, dignity, and belonging of each and every young person in Ohio and beyond; and we are committed to disrupting that which causes harm.

There are many working hard to silence and virtually erase our existence, and yet . . . we’re still here!

Join us on Friday, October 14, for an evening in community, as we celebrate how far we’ve come. Stand with us as we continue to do the work necessary to create the world that we know is possible.

The Unity Soiree is the cornerstone fundraising event for Kaleidoscope Youth Center. 100% of proceeds raised during this event will support LGBTQIA+ young people across Ohio.

Thank you to our 2022 Sponsors, including: Nationwide, Kroger, Edward Jones Financial Advisor David C. Cunningham, Abbott, Julie Cline, Pathways Financial Credit Union, and Mandate to Elevate.

Unity Soiree sponsorship opportunities are still available at kycohio.org/unitysoiree.
