Get in the holiday spirit with our grantee One Voice Chorus of Charlotte

This season, One Voice Chorus invites you to a celebration full of sparkle, spirit, and unapologetic q***r cheer. The first half of Pride & Joy brings the camp—expect holiday classics with a twist, unexpected treats, and more glitter than your grandma’s tinsel. Then, as the lights soften, we shift into music that holds space for reflection, remembrance, and the deeper meaning of the season. From playful to poignant, this concert honors the wide spectrum of what the holidays mean to our community—joy, resilience, chosen family, and love in all its forms. Join us as we sing in the season and celebrate you—our extended OVC family.

Free parking available. Please join us afterwards for a FREE reception featuring a holiday sing-a-long, complimentary beer/wine, and soft drinks, and holiday cookies galore!

Tickets available now at onevoicechorus.com

Friday, December 12 @ 730 PM

Help us support our grantee Twirl to the World Foundation with their first ever Santa Speedo Run - Charlotte

The run supports Twirl to the World Foundation, Carolinas LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce Non-Profit of the Year, dedicated to supporting Charlotte LGBT+ individuals in need through our Twirl Assistance Program (TAP).

In 2024, TAP provided critical support to 250 LGBTQ+ individuals, including 173 receiving financial assistance and 35 accessing mental health services, while also funding 42 scholarships for a sobriety and recovery retreat. The organization distributed more than $106,200 in aid, including emergency assistance, mental health services, and substance abuse support.

By mid-September 2025, TAP has already supported 254 LGBTQ+ individuals! The need is great so we need a greater means of fundraising

For more information and to register, please visit their website https://santa-speedo-run-charlotte-2025.raiselysite.com/ or social media pages.
