International Women's Day Dance
March 7, 2026 | Hairpin Arts Center
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate community and move with pride at the sold-out LBTQ Giving Council of Chicago Foundation for Women’s International Women’s Day Dance.
This annual event raises funds for organizations serving Chicago’s LGBTQIA+ community, and this year, we raised a record-breaking $41,950—the largest amount this event has ever raised!
Thank you to our attendees, sponsors, event and silent auction supporters, and donors who supported the International Women’s Day Dance. Because of your generous support, women, girls, and gender-expansive people are stronger.
Relive the night and see if you can spot yourself in photos from the event here.
