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:

Current open opportunities:

  • Spring Fling, April 2025 | Available for sponsorship & volunteers

  • Senior Prom, June 2025 | Available for sponsorship & volunteers

  • SF Pride Parade, June 2025 | Available for sponsorship & volunteers

  • Rainbow Lunch, Bi-Weekly | Available for sponsorship & volunteers

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.

Support needed for our Holiday Gift Bag program:

  • Event underwriting

  • Connections / discounts for meal catering

  • Setup, food serving, and breakdown volunteers
