A disco ball doesn't make its own light, it just takes one beam and throws it a thousand directions across a room, transforming a space into an experience.

Our artists are the light. The people who show up on 9/24 are the disco ball, helping the work of the MTF Community reach new places and illuminate radical, healing, storytelling.

This isn't your average snooze of a fundraiser. It's an epic evening hosted by New York Times & Rolling Stone-featured drag artist Theydy Bedbug — deemed "MAGA right's worst nightmare" — with live music from award-winning writers Fermin Suero Jr. & Pete White's new musical Bludline, an arcade of games, three secret rooms you actually have to solve your way through, and an Oracle Card that only unlocks if you play.

An open bar is included no matter which tier you pick. Tickets start at $50, and every dollar raised that night is matched up to $7,500 — so if we hit our $15K goal, your gift works twice as hard.

We're capping the room at 60 people. That's it.

FAQ

What's included in my ticket?

Open bar and concert entry at every tier, plus tokens for gameplay — the number of tokens and secret room access scale up by tier. See the ticket breakdown.

What are the tokens for?

Tokens are how you play. Main room games run 2 tokens each (5 for the premium game); Secret Rooms are 5 tokens per entry. Need more once you're there? Grab additional tokens on-site via QR code.

What's the Oracle Card?

THE ARTIST is the first of four collectible cards MTF will unlock across the season — this one's earned by playing games, cracking the secret rooms, or contributing tokens toward the night's fundraising total. If you collect all 4 over the course of our season events, you will unlock an exclusive experience at our anti-gala in April 2027!

How many tickets are there?

60. Total. Across all ticket tiers. Once a tier sells out, it's gone.

What should I wear?

Elevated, not stuffy. Disco-chic, not black-tie. Sparkles are always welcome.
