Center on Halsted Raises $50,000 from Oscars Party
Over 83 BILLION
people watched
the Oscars this year!
Here in Chicago 300+ patrons raised $50,000 for Center on Halsted programs and services, at their annual Oscar Extravaganza!
It was a first class production with Las Vegas style showgirls, televisions everywhere, delicious foods and drinks galore.
The rooftop at The Center was enclosed and heated to provide a very cool lounge type room. And a wonderful silent auction helped raise a lot of money!
Chicago has sure come a long way!
Starting with Gay Horizons, founded in 1973 as a volunteer-run telephone helpline and meeting place for gays and lesbians, growing into The Center on Halsted, 175,000 square feet offering an abundance of services to the LGBT community . It is a world-class center we should be very proud of, and support any way we can.

Sure to be a great evening!
