Get a room!

Mark your calendars! The annual Fairness West Virginia Institute gala is returning on Oct. 25, and you’re invited! Join us in Charleston as we celebrate Studio 54 and dance our way to a brighter future for LGBTQ+ West Virginians

Step into the glittering world of Studio 54 for a night of disco, decadence, and dazzling self-expression—all in support of LGBTQ+ civil rights!

Dance beneath shimmering lights, sip cocktails in style, and celebrate a legacy of resilience and liberation with a community that knows how to party with purpose. From iconic fashion to electrifying music, this gala will transport you to an era where the night was limitless and everyone belonged.

Don’t miss your chance to shine—grab your tickets and let’s make history on the dance floor!

Our supporters are welcome to enjoy a discounted night’s stay ($139) at Embassy Suites, the location of our event. To enjoy this discount, book your room by October 3.

And remember — buying a ticket to our gala is more than just sending us a donation. It’s a down payment on a better future, a future where all hardworking LGBTQ+ West Virginians can earn an honest living and live an honest life. It’s your promise to fund crucial work that helps transgender West Virginians access the competent and compassionate health care they need. It’s your commitment to stand up for LGBTQ+ youth across our state.

I’ll see you there.

Yours in Fairness,

Andrew Schneider
