Help us Find the Funds at Inside Out Youth Services' annual Gay-la!

An evening of intrigue begins at the 5 p.m. cocktail Hour; during which attendees can enjoy stationed appetizers, drinks, live music, and visit the VIP experience for a chance to find some funds.

The stage is set at 6:00 p.m. for the seated main program with a secret host, surprise live performances, and a paddle raise auction featuring fabulous prizes from local art to international vacations. In true lOYS style, we will conclude our evening with dessert and some dancing!

Dress Code

Our dress code is simple - wear what makes you feel most fabulous!

What to Bring

• A form of government issued I.D. for the bar
• Credit card (a credit card is required to bid through Handbid and in the live auction) 

Register in advance and check-in via the express line!

Register for Handbid and download the Handbid app today! By registering in advance, you get to skip the main line and check-in via the express line so you can get partying sooner! Plus, the auction is officially open, so once you register you can start bidding.

Check-out and Payment

We will be closing the silent auction soon after the live auction ends, at 8:45p.m. Keep an eye on your phone for the push notification letting you know the auction is soon to close to get in your final bids. Be prepared to pay for your items via credit card or check that evening. A card on file is required to bid in the auction. If you want to pay via check rather than credit card, you need to do so at the checkout table. We will be charging the cards on file soon after the event ends.
