About The Gala
Live Out Loud’s 25th Anniversary Young Trailblazers Gala will take place on Monday, May 18, 2026, at The Lighthouse, Pier 61 in New York City.
This milestone celebration will bring together more than 400 donors, corporate supporters, elected officials, and youth scholarship winners to honor 25 years of life-affirming educational programming that empowers LGBTQAI+ youth to live authentically and lead with pride.
During the evening, we will recognize outstanding advocates in our community who further Live Out Loud’s mission — and present $5,000 scholarships to exceptional high school seniors whose courage and leadership are shaping a brighter, more inclusive future. It’s always our most inspiring and heartfelt moment of the night.
