Kentuckiana Pride Foundation’s SHINE Gala returns to the Speed Art Museum Nov. 13

The Kentuckiana Pride Foundation proudly presents the 2nd Annual SHINE Gala on Friday, Nov. 13, from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, bringing together community leaders, businesses and supporters for an unforgettable evening dedicated to strengthening the LGBTQIA+ community.

Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman and Louisville Deputy Mayor Chan Kemper are scheduled to attend this year’s celebration, highlighting the importance of community partnerships and inclusion.

At the heart of the SHINE Gala is the foundation’s ambitious goal of establishing a $1 million endowment fund to provide long-term financial support for LGBTQIA+ nonprofits, small businesses, community leaders and organizations throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana.

Guests will enjoy live entertainment by Louisville’s own Wax Factory, performing crowd favorites from the 1960s through today.

The foundation proudly recognizes My Financing USA as the presenting sponsor, along with supporting sponsors Chill Bar Highlands, Big Bar, Highland Tap Room, Jefferson County Teachers Association, attorney Matthew Coogle and Louisville Tourism.

Dr. Timothy S. Weyrauch, president of the Kentuckiana Pride Foundation, emphasizes the importance of building a lasting legacy of community support through the SHINE Gala and its endowment initiative.
