Help raise money for The Legacy Project's WE WILL NOT BE ERASED campaign.OUR SPONSORS*Presenting Sponsor: Baird & WarnerPremiere Sponsor: I|O The Godfrey Hotel2026 HONORARY HOST COMMITTEE*(*List in formation as of March 30, 2026)WE WILL NOT BE ERASEDAlarming new federal and state policies in much of the U.S. are focused on removing LGBTQ+ people and their forebears from government databases, schools, the military, libraries, and the workplace. The ONLY way to effectively counter this unprecedented campaign of erasure is to relentlessly promote the achievements and contributions LGBTQ+ people have been making to society throughout history. Our social media campaign not only celebrates these extraordinary individual achievements - it also focuses on the HEADLINES each of us is reading EVERY DAY. We urgently need your assistance to expand the reach of the We Will Not be Erased campaign beyond business-as-usual through high-visibility paid/targeted placement.ABOUT THE LEGACY PROJECTThe award-winning Legacy Project works to educate the general public about the many roles Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) people have played in the advancement of world history and culture. Through "The Legacy Walk" in Chicago (the world's only outdoor LGBTQ museum and Chicago's newest Historic Landmark); "The Legacy Project Education Initiative" ( the foundation of Illinois's new LGBTQ-Inclusive Curriculum); and "The Legacy Wall" (traveling digitally-interactive exhibit) - the Legacy Project challenges the social and cultural marginalization of LGBTQ youth that fuels bullying.ABOUT OUT OF THE OFFICE"OUT Of The Office" was founded in 2001 as a celebration for LGBTQ+ people, allies, family, and friends to gather downtown and kick-off Gay Pride Month in Chicago. Event founder Andrew Hayes officially passed the hosting duties and management of this extremely popular event to The Legacy Project in 2023 as a way to support the ongoing development of LGBTQ-Inclusive and Affirming education resources and curricula for Illinois public school students.MEDIA COVERAGENOTE: As this is a fundraiser, if you are unable to attend for any reason, your ticket becomes a donation.
