10 Years of Impact: You're Invited to the B. Riley House Anniversary Gala
Ten years of care, connection, and community deserves a night together. We’d love for you to join us as B. Riley House celebrates its 10th anniversary with “10 Years of Impact. A night to celebrate a future together.”
On Saturday, December 5, 2026, we’ll gather in Cleveland to celebrate the people who have helped shape this community and the future we continue to build together. LGBTQ+ people and allies are warmly invited. Whether you’ve been part of B. Riley House for years or are just getting to know us, there’s a place for you in this celebration.
Ten Years of Opening the Door
Since 2016, people have walked through a door bearing Bridget Riley’s name to find a community of care. Each person brings a different story, and each story is part of the impact we’re celebrating.
B. Riley House was named for Bridget Riley. Her story is a meaningful part of our beginnings, and we carry her name with care. This anniversary gives us a chance to honor that beginning while looking ahead: to the people who will find belonging, support, and connection in the years to come.
The gala is more than a marker on the calendar. It’s a chance to come together around the idea at the heart of this work: people deserve to be met with love and compassion, and no one should have to walk toward healing alone.
A Future We Build Together
Our community has always been made by people showing up for one another. LGBTQ+ people and allies have helped make B. Riley House a place where people can be welcomed, supported, and seen. That shared care is part of what “a future together” means to us.
Since 2016, B. Riley House has served more than 300 clients annually. Behind every number is a person, a family, and a community with room to grow. The gala is an opportunity to celebrate the people who make that care possible and the connections that continue to bring us forward.
Ten years is a meaningful milestone. It also points toward what comes next: more chances to welcome people through the door, more moments of support, and more ways for our community to stand alongside one another. We’re grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey: clients, families, staff, friends, and allies. Your presence and care have helped shape these ten years.
An Evening of Performance, Music, and Dancing
We’re excited to share the evening with a lineup of drag performances, including a featured finale by Onya Nurve, Season 17 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Joining the celebration with additional performances are Isis Irvin, Monica Lexin, and Jazmyn Hyte James.
DJ Jojo will be spinning the night with a dance floor all evening. Come celebrate, enjoy the performances, and share the night with the B. Riley House community. It’s a chance to gather with LGBTQ+ people and allies, make new connections, and enjoy an evening shaped around celebration.
Most of all, we hope the gala feels like what it is: an invitation to be together. Bring your joy, your appreciation for this community, and your hope for the future. We’ll be glad to celebrate with you.
