Crowned: A Completely Serious Search for a 10?

On Friday, October 10, Stonewall Sports Chicago and Kicks and Giggles (KAG) will present Crowned — our first-ever All-Gender Beauty Pageant Fundraiser. This event aims to bring together more than 250 guests for an evening of performance, fashion, and community celebration in support of LGBTQIA+ nonprofits making a difference right here in Chicago.

With a proven track record of impact, KAG has raised over $15,000 in the last two years, making them the top fundraising team in Stonewall Sports Chicago history. Their leadership, combined with the reach and reputation of Stonewall Sports Chicago, makes Crowned a high-visibility opportunity for mission-aligned brands to support LGBTQIA+ communities through direct investment.

Proceeds will benefit the Stonewall Sports Chicago Community Impact Fund, which provides annual gifts to organizations such as:

Center on Halsted Youth and Family Services
Brave Space Alliance
And other grassroots LGBTQIA+ nonprofits throughout the city

Sponsorship opportunities include brand visibility, community engagement, and access to an audience that values inclusion, creativity, and local impact. All sponsors will receive formal tax acknowledgment from Stonewall Sports Chicago, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
