The unofficial kickoff to Gala weekend. On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the GLA Next Gen Junior Board is taking over the New York Room at Hard Rock Cafe Times Square for GLA First Round, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. This is the opposite of black tie- come as you are, grab a drink at the bar (a cut of every tab goes to GLA), and hang with the GLA community. All ages welcome.

Tickets are $55 and include entry, light bites and a welcome toast. Get yours at https://www.ticketweb.com/event/the-night-before-the-gala-hard-rock-cafe-times-square-tickets/14307574
