This year’s Pride festivities will include a philanthropic black-tie event to benefit the cause and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Hosted at Rainbow Room, the Love Above All Ball (with support from OUT@NBCUniversal) on June 28th is the only ticketed black-tie event scheduled for the season and will benefit the Born This Way Foundation, which is a non-profit founded by Lady Gaga and co-run by her mother Cynthia Germanotta that provides young people with mental health resources.
“Born This Way Foundation was founded with the goal of empowering young people from all walks of life to create a kinder and braver world. Today’s youth are a passionate, collaborative, and diverse generation,” said Cynthia Germanotta, president and co-founder of the Born This Way Foundation, in a statement. “We are proud to be partnering with Rainbow Room for its first-ever Pride event celebrating love, creativity, and community.”
The gala will feature a cabaret performance by RuPaul’s Drag Race alum (and co-star of last year’s A Star is Born) Shangela and will feature live performances by Marina (formerly of Marina and the Diamonds fame) and Betty Who. Additionally, veteran DJs Casey Spooner, Nicky Siano, and Miss Guy will provide the soundtrack for the evening. Sounds like a good night!
