Central Florida’s LGBT community and allies will gather to celebrate another successful year at the 2nd Annual Black and White Gala, benefiting The GLBT Center of Central Florida.

The Gala is at Quantum Leap Winery Oct. 19. It kicks off with a sold-out VIP dinner at 6:30 p.m., a five-course meal with wine pairings prepared by John Michael Events. The main event begins at 8 p.m.

“There will be entertainment and a live auction held during the dinner,” said Randy Stephens, executive director of The Center. “Afterward, the remainder of the winery opens up to a night of festivity, while dancing to the sounds of The Rocks from Penguin Entertainment.”

General admission tickets are still available at TheCenterOrlando.org, and include free hors d’ouvres and a cash bar.
Stephens said in addition to a live auction during the VIP dinner, there will be a silent auction throughout the night.

“You can be as dressy or casual as you like; we just ask that you wear black and white,” he said.

Stephens said this year’s gala will have a broader appeal.

“We anticipate greater attendance and it’s a great way to follow up the successful week of Come Out With Pride,” he said.
