AFFA’s 2026 Gala
March 14th, 2026
Step into an evening of elegance and purpose at the AFFA Gala, South Carolina’s premier celebration of progress, resilience, and unity. This annual gathering unites the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to honor shared achievements while advancing AFFA’s vital mission. Beyond celebration, the Gala raises essential funds for advocacy, education, and community initiatives across the region.
The evening begins with a sparkling cocktail reception and open bar, accompanied by a silent auction, followed by a three-course seated dinner designed for connection and reflection. The night crescendos with a live auction of one-of-a-kind experiences, culminating in dancing that carries the celebration late into the night.
