Contigo Fund Ball 2025: Defying Gravity

About the Event Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Contigo Fund Ball 2025: Defying Gravity — a night of celebration, community, and purpose. On Saturday, December 6, 2025, we will gather at Harriett’s Orlando Ballet Centre with partners, supporters, and community members for our signature annual fundraiser uplifting LGBTQ+, immigrant, and communities of color across Central Florida. ✨ What to Expect: ✨ A festive reception and buffet dinner by 4 Rivers Smokehouse with dessert options ✨ Complimentary valet parking for all guests ✨ Two complimentary drink tickets (wine, beer, or cocktail) ✨ Inspiring stories from community leaders and partners ✨ Cultural performances and celebrations ✨ A moving awards presentation (honoree announced prior to the event) ✨ Dancing, music, and an open dance floor ✨ Opportunities to connect and invest in transformative grassroots work ✨ Ticket Options: • General Admission – $30: Full event experience. • Grassroots Access – $20: Reduced rate to ensure grassroots community members and advocates are in the room. • Solidarity Sponsor – $60: Covers your ticket plus the cost of a Grassroots Access ticket for someone else. • Pay-It-Forward Ticket – $30: Not for entry — your purchase sponsors a Grassroots Access ticket so another community member has a seat at the table. Proceeds from the Ball directly support Contigo Fund’s grantmaking, capacity-building, and advocacy efforts — with a special focus this year on the Immigrant Advocacy & Defense Emergency Fund, meeting urgent needs of immigrant communities facing escalating threats in Florida and across the South. 💜 With Gratitude to Our 2025 Sponsors (so far): Heart of Florida United Way Seacoast Bank Somos Loud Orlando Commissioner Patty Sheehan, District 4 Orlando Sponsorship opportunities are still available for organizations and allies who want to deepen their impact. Together, we rise — with love, resilience, and comunidad.
