Join us as we celebrate 25 Fabulous Years of the IYG Auction! This milestone year honors a quarter-century of community, creativity, and commitment to LGBTQ+ youth and young adults across Indiana.

Guests will enjoy a fabulous evening beginning with a cocktail party in the stunning Gallery 22. Savor hors d’oeuvres and sip from our open bar as you explore an expansive silent auction featuring works by both local and national artists, along with curated baskets, unique experiences, and goods from generous local businesses.

The excitement builds with our live auction program sponsored by Lilly—an unforgettable showcase of one-of-a-kind treasures and exclusive opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.

But beyond the glitz and glamour lies a deeper purpose. In today’s climate, IYG’s services are needed more than ever. LGBTQ+ young people in Indiana continue to face rising challenges—from mental health concerns to legislative threats. Every dollar raised during this event goes directly toward life-affirming programs, resources, and services, including free mental health counseling, safer spaces, basic needs, and statewide support. Your generosity helps create a safer, more inclusive future for our young people—and shows them that they are never alone.

Help us celebrate 25 fabulous years of impact—and help pave the way for the next 25. Together, we can lead change and lift up the voices of LGBTQ+ youth and young adults across Indiana.
