Black Tie Dinner

About Black Tie

Black Tie Dinner Inc. is a free-standing, volunteer based, nonprofit organization that began in 1982 to raise funds for LGBT supportive organizations.  The annual DFW Black Tie Dinner is the largest and most successful LGBT fundraising dinner in the nation, attracting more than 3,000 attendees each year. Amazingly, Black Tie Dinner Inc donates half of the proceedings from the event to the HRC Foundation, and distributes the remaining funds across up to twenty preselected local North Texas beneficiaries.

While we at HRC’s DFW Federal Club work closely with and enthusiastically support Black Tie Dinner Inc ., the leadership and implementation of programming of the two organizations are fully independent of one another. To learn more about Black Tie Dinner, Inc., visit http://www.blacktiedinner.org.
