Don't miss Heel Appeal and Winnipeg Kiki Ballroom at The Category Is: Gala, presented by RBC.
The Category Is: Gala is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Rainbow Resource Centre. All funds raised go toward Rainbow's operations so we can continue to offer not only life-saving programs and services to 2SLGBTQ+ Manitobans, but also create spaces where 2SLGBTQ+ communities can thrive.
We're thrilled to work in partnership with local organizations and artists that support our vision for a world where diverse sexual and gender identities, orientations, and expressions are included, valued, and celebrated. Not only are you supporting the 2SLGBTQ+ community, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience.
