Support Openhouse Events
Support LGBTQ+ older adults and have fun doing it!
At Openhouse, we’re all about building an active, supportive, and vibrant community. Coming together for events and celebrations is an excellent way to do that. And we’re of the mind that more really is merrier.
That’s why we’re inviting YOU to get involved with Openhouse events. Here’s a few annual events that you, your friends, or your company can help support:

Spring Fling
Annually, on a Saturday in mid-April
Spring Fling is Openhouse’s annual fundraising gala, but this isn’t your stuffy chicken dinner: it’s a brunch extravaganza.
Support needed for Senior Prom:
Event sponsorship
Table captains
Day-of event volunteers (setup, during, breakdown)
Senior Prom
Part of our annual Pride activities, during June
For those who may not have been able to attend their own high school prom as their true selves, Openhouse throws a Senior Prom where attendees can put their full colors on display.
Support needed for Senior Prom:
Event underwriting
Pre-event decorating volunteers
Day-of event volunteers (setup, during, breakdown)
SF Pride Parade
Annually, the last Sunday in June
Each year, Openhouse rolls down the San Francisco Pride Parade route in style: riding in double-decker trolly cars and on foot, wearing matching t-shirts and celebrate our community’s trailblazers.
Support needed for the SF Pride Parade:
Event underwriting
Pre-parade t-shirt and goody bag distribution
Parade contingent marchers
Fall Feast
Annually, in November
Fall Feast is our holiday meal, provided to more than 200 LGBTQ+ elders who may otherwise not have the opportunity to partake in one. We serve turkey, pumpkin or potato pie, and lots of love.
Support needed for Fall Feast:
Event underwriting
Connections / discounts for meal catering
Pre-decorating and day-of event volunteers
Holiday Gift Bags
Annually, mid-December
The holidays can be an especially difficult time for LGBTQ+ elders who are socially isolated. That’s why we deliver gift bags to 150+ of our seniors who otherwise may not receive any holiday presents.
Support needed for our Holiday Gift Bag program:
Cash and in-kind donations for gift bags
Gift wrapping volunteers
Gift bag delivery volunteers
Rainbow Lunch
Mondays, every other week
There’s no better way to build community than to share a meal together. Twice a month on Monday, we host a luncheon for more than 120 LGBTQ+ elders to enjoy each others’ company.

Event underwriting
Connections / discounts for meal catering
Setup, food serving, and breakdown volunteers
