GLAM AS YOU ARE: The Golden Palm Fundraiser for Daisy Baby Foundation and Grand River Pride

What is GLAM AS YOU ARE?

GLAM AS YOU ARE is an immersive Pride-season cocktail event created for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and the allies who celebrate with us.

This year, GLAM returns as The Golden Palm: a moody, elevated, design-forward evening inspired by golden-hour glamour, tropical intrigue, hidden moments, and the feeling of checking into somewhere unforgettable.

Think cocktail party meets immersive fundraiser.
A little mysterious. A little glamorous.
Joyful, welcoming, intentional, and unlike a typical charity event.

Guests can expect music, dancing, light bites, a welcome drink, photography, interactive beauty and design moments, a sensory lounge, curated fundraising, and a room full of people who believe Pride can be more than a party: it can be a place to feel seen.

At its heart, GLAM AS YOU ARE exists to raise money for Daisy Baby Foundation, helping fund fertility grants for LGBTQIA+ families navigating the path to parenthood.

Limited capacity. June 11. IV Loft at Four Fathers Brewing Co.

New this year: THE SANCTUARY

This year, GLAM will include The Sanctuary: a calm, low-stimulation lounge designed for guests who may want to step away from the main room.

The Sanctuary is there for anyone who needs a quieter moment, whether to reset, recharge, breathe, or reconnect before returning to the evening.

It will be open throughout the night and will also host short, optional sessions led by community leaders. These sessions will offer moments of reflection, conversation, grounding, and connection in a more intimate setting.

Because inclusion is not just about being invited into the room.
It is about being considered once you are there.

💛 Why It Matters

Every ticket supports LGBTQIA+ families in waiting through Daisy Baby Foundation.

Our goal this year is to fund two $5,000 fertility grants for queer families navigating the path to parenthood.

Funds raised beyond that goal will also support Grand River Pride, helping sustain the local LGBTQIA+ community that makes events like GLAM possible.

So yes, it is a night of music, glamour, beauty, and connection.

But it is also a night that helps make family possible.

🌟 Who It’s For

GLAM AS YOU ARE was created for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and the allies who genuinely celebrate with us.

It is for people who want Pride to feel joyful, thoughtful, stylish, inclusive, and safe.

No corporate rainbow-washing.
No chaotic nightclub energy.
No pressure to perform.

Just a beautifully designed night where you can show up as you are, take what you need, and be part of something bigger.
