Celebrate the Power of Community

Every year, The Unity Soirée brings together the people who believe LGBTQIA+ youth deserve spaces where they are seen, affirmed, and empowered to thrive. As Kaleidoscope Youth Center's signature fundraising gala, the evening celebrates the collective impact of our community while raising critical support for programs and services that reach LGBTQIA+ youth and young adults across Central Ohio.
This year, we are proud to welcome guests to The Ellis for an elevated evening of exceptional dining, handcrafted cocktails, a curated silent auction, inspiring stories, and meaningful opportunities to invest in the future of KYC. Together, we will reflect on a year of growth and resilience, celebrate the people who have helped shape our journey, and look ahead to an exciting new chapter for our organization.

The Experience

Why Your Support Matters

Strength Through Community is more than this year's theme. It reflects the way KYC has always moved forward. Every donor, volunteer, advocate, partner, and young person who walks through our doors adds another piece to a stronger, more connected community.
When you attend Unity Soiree, your generosity helps ensure LGBTQIA+ youth continue to have access to affirming spaces, mental health services, leadership opportunities, and a community where they know they belong.

Become a Sponsor

Whether you're a business, community organization, or individual philanthropist, your partnership helps make this unforgettable evening possible while advancing KYC's mission year-round.

Thank you to our 2026 Sponsors!
