New Year’s Eve Legacy Gala

We are proud to announce Brothers of the Desert’s fourth annual New Year’s Eve celebration and fundraiser at Margaritaville Resort in Palm Springs. Over the past four years, the New Year’s Eve gala has become one of our signature events. We invite you to share this magical evening with us as we reflect on this past year and celebrate all that lies ahead in this next chapter and journey of our lives. This year’s theme is legacy, and we will honor those past and present who have inspired us and helped to move forward our Black LGBTQ+ community.

Tickets are $150.00 per person which includes a 3-course dinner with wine pairings and a champagne toast at the stroke of midnight. We will feature entertainment and dancing with featured vocalist, Gennine Francis and renowned Los Angeles DJ. Lancia. People can also purchase a table of 10 for $1400, for a discount of $100. We have added a new twist for naming the tables. We have chosen to highlight some of our most revered pioneers in the fight for justice and equality to share the space with us by naming our sponsored tables with the names of some of these heroes. If you purchase a table, you can choose from a short list of names we have selected or choose someone that you would like to honor in our fight for equity and justice. We have invited some of our local living legends to the event, Ron Oden, Barbara Carpenter, Gail Christian, and Lucy DeBardelaben, and will honor them in person as well.

Brothers of the Desert is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit membership organization with the mission of empowering Black gay men and our allies through advocacy, education, social connection, philanthropy, volunteerism, and mentorship.
