The Human Rights Campaign is the leading national advocacy organization working for the equal rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans through education, research and political activities. The HRC National Dinner brings together more than 3,600 HRC members, friends, families and allies for an evening of celebration and inspiration. Featuring a cocktail reception, an extensive silent and live auction, an elegant dinner, live entertainment and thought-provoking speakers and guests, the HRC National Dinner attracts the nation’s top figures in entertainment and politics. The National Dinner serves as both a celebration of LGBTQ+ identity and achievements and a critical fundraising mechanism to support HRC’s mission advancing civil rights and equality. Income from past dinners has been pivotal in enabling HRC’s legislative advocacy, education programs, and corporate engagement work
