    Stan Mansion
    2408 N Kedzie Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60647

    At a time when the current administration continues to attack LGBTQ people, especially Black and Brown queer and trans communities, spaces like this are not optional. They are necessary. They are where we protect our culture, circulate resources, affirm our brilliance, and remind the world that we are still here.
    With $20,000 invested directly back into our community, this night marks more than a Ball, it marks a new era of Chicago Ballroom, rooted in legacy and elevated by excellence.
