2024 LUCK BE A LADY GALA

We would like to thank all attendees who bought tickets and tables for The L-Fund Gala! Words cannot express the overflow of emotions seeing 400 beautiful faces fill the room! Your presence spoke volumes and we felt all the love and support.

What a spectacular evening and we raised over $85,000!

We also wish to thank all of our sponsors, media partners, advertisers, live auction (Olivia Cruise, Living Out Palm Springs-Alice B., Linda Lannen & Maralee O'Meara) and silent auction donors, in kind donors, and raffle prize donors for your commitment to The L-Fund. We are grateful for your generous contributions which made a significant impact on the success of our Gala!

A heartfelt thank you to Kim Kieler, Volunteer Coordinator, and our incredible volunteers (especially Mary Yates and Laura Kutch) who worked tirelessly before, during, and after the event! As we all know, events would not be possible without volunteers and we’re forever indebted to all of you!

Sweet Baby J'ai put together a phenomenal entertainment lineup.

Thanks to Grace Garner and Imani Rupert-Gordon for presenting the awards to our recipients - Shann Carr, Sweet Baby J'ai, and Judy Dlugacz. Thanks to Amy Steinhauser as well for sharing her heartfelt personal story and how The L-Fund helped give her a hand up!

A shoutout to Mina Hartong, our Emcee, Lenny Broberg, our Auctioneer, Corlyce Olivieri, Photographer, and Nicholas Snow of PromoHomoTV, for sharing their talents and making it a wonderful evening.

All of your contributions made The L-Fund Gala 2024 truly a night to remember! Your generosity furthers our mission of empowering cis, trans, and queer identifying lesbians through emergency financial crisis as well as in education, the arts, and health and wellness! We could not do what we do without your support!

The Board would especially like to thank Chris Hunter who as Event Chair was at the helm 24/7.

With love and gratitude,

Mei Ling Tom and Chris Hunter
