On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all of you: our supporters; our Allies; our volunteers; our donors; our candidates and elected officials; the business owners who host our events; the GALA Youth; our sponsors; and especially YOU, our community, LGBT+ North  Texans,  who participate in our programs and are our reason for being.  We are grateful for each and everyone of you.  We wish you a safe, happy and healthy holiday and look forward to seeing you at the Holiday Party.

Very sincerely yours,

Jeanne S. Rubin, GALA President

It's that time of year again. GALA is hosting our annual Holiday Party in Downtown Plano on December 6th. We will be serving drinks and appetizers and we'll have other fun activities including a raffle, silent auction, and photo booth. 

Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door.

When you are buying your Holiday Party tickets also don't miss the opportunity to get your raffle tickets for our Absolut Vodka liquor basket.

Holiday Party Tee Shirts Available

Thanks to Brian Ivanchan from Pride Basics we have some fantastic t-shirts available, just $15.00. This is a fundraiser for GALA Gay and Lesbian Alliance of North Texas and all shirts can be shipped to you or picked up for free at the holiday party.

Our Holiday Party is GALA's largest fundraiser of the year and we rely on sponsors to make it a financial success.  The money raised will support GALA's ongoing activities.

GALA speaks out on behalf of the LGBT community in our schools and communities; it sponsors a youth group providing a safe place for LGBT youth to meet and be themselves; it educates the community though seminars and one-on-one interactions; and we are especially pleased with the Ally Training program that we started in 2017.
