The National LGBTQ Task Force Gala is getting a glow-up — and you’re invited. 💃🏾🏳️🌈
This October 11, National Coming Out Day, join us in Hollywood, FL for the first-ever BE YOU BALL— a bold new chapter in celebrating queer power, joy, and resilience.
Yes, the name is new but it’s more than that — it’s a cultural shift. Where fierce advocacy meets full-blown celebration. Where we fight back AND dance forward. Where authenticity is the dress code and joy is non-negotiable.
Mark your calendar, start planning your fit, and stay tuned for all the details. Because when we show up as ourselves — we shine.

It’s National Volunteer Month and we’re celebrating the heart of our movement—our volunteers! 💛
From organizing on the ground to showing up behind the scenes, your time, energy, and passion make our work possible every single day. Our signature events—Creating Change, Winter Party Festival, and Be You Ball—would not be what they are without the dedication and brilliance of our volunteer community.
You are the reason we can build power, create space, and show up boldly for LGBTQ+ people across the country. Thank you for all that you do—we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you. 🌈✨

#thetaskforce sends a huge congratulations to David Jobin, President & CEO of Our Fund Foundation who was honored at the #TaskForceGala as our 2025 Eddy McIntyre Community Service Award Honoree.
Jobin’s storied work in arts and culture includes a career in theater management for over 20 years. From 2013 to 2015, Jobin served as the executive director for the Stonewall National Museum & Archives organization, where he oversaw the launch of the Stonewall Gallery on Wilton Drive located at the intersection of South Florida’s queer community.
At the Our Fund Foundation, Jobin leads the queer-advocacy organization whose philanthropic mission solidifies LGBTQ wealth in a series of grants, investments and donations. “At a time when LGBTQ rights are under direct attack in Florida and across the country, this recognition is a reminder that our work is far from finished,” Jobin said.
