- **Event Description**: Join us for a dazzling Monte Carlo-inspired evening at the stunning industrial-rustic venue, The Pine. We are excited to announce our reimagined 2026 THRIVE Gala &amp; Awards Ceremony. This year's Awards Ceremony and Fundraising Dinner brings you elegance meeting James Bond-level intrigue.

What does that mean for you? It means your attendance, your bids, and your donations have more power than ever before. By removing the traditional annual meeting from the schedule, we are giving you more time to hit the dance floor and connect with CEOs, entrepreneurs, emerging leaders, and influencers throughout the night.

All tickets include access to our high-energy cocktail hour featuring a red-carpet step-and-repeat, an inspiring and streamlined awards ceremony, incredible live entertainment, and food.

Special guests include: 
• Our Emcee, comedian LA Redd
• Musical performances by Maggie Lowe and Sanpriest 
• Keeping the night filled with music, DJ Quelle

Don your best tuxedos, ballgown-esque dresses, or cocktail attire, and be part of this extraordinary evening to make it a night to remember. 

Because of the incredible generosity of our venue and catering partners, an unprecedented ~85% of your ticket cost will go directly to funding the Carolinas LGBT Chamber's initiatives. We look forward to celebrating with you.

Stay tuned for more information regarding award nominees, our live giving opportunities, and more!

*Our EARLYBIRD rates will be open until March 28th, 2026.
