Time Out Youth’s ASCEND Gala is the Charlotte region’s signature event celebrating LGBTQ youth.

This fall, join Time Out Youth for an unforgettable evening featuring Twiggy Garcon as the keynote speaker.

Tickets are on sale now and include dinner, a presentation, live entertainment, silent auction, open bar, and dancing!

“We are so proud to bring this event to our community, and to offer the opportunity to show our continued support for the LGBTQ youth in Charlotte that continue to sparkle despite all that is up against them,” says Time Out Youth’s Executive Director Sarah Mikhail. “ASCEND will be a celebration of the values that Time Out Youth embodies: empowerment, individuality, and unconditional acceptance."

This event is the nonprofit’s biggest fundraising event of the year. With your support, the Center will continue to meet the needs of our youth. Every day we see the smiles on faces, the spark of imagination, the anger at injustice, and the determination to make the world a better place.
