Celebrity Stylist and TV Personality Brad Goreski to Host
SEATTLE — April 15, 2026 — Lifelong, a leading community health organization that provides critical access to lifesaving medications and healthcare, HIV care, stable housing, independent living, and food, today announced that Brad Goreski will host Seattle’s inaugural Pride Gala: An Evening for Equality. Grammy award-winning artist Macy Gray and RuPaul’s Drag Race fan-favorite Miz Cracker will perform.
The black-tie dinner, taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, invites Seattle to celebrate pride in a bold, new way and includes a cocktail hour, seated dinner, musical performances, and a live auction in support of both Lifelong and Seattle Pride. The evening will also include special recognition of two honored guests for work championing LGBTQ+ equality.
“Lifelong was founded over 40 years ago to fight for access and to stand up for marginalized communities. We’re proud to introduce the Prida Gala and create an experience that reflects the vibrancy, creativity, and resilience of our community,” said Lifelong CEO, James Shackelford. “Lifelong Pride Gala will be both a celebration of the decades of progress achieved and an evening for collective renewal, acknowledging the fight for equality, access, and rights that remain ahead.”
Proceeds from the evening bring us one step closer to Lifelong’s vision of Health For All, directly supporting HIV, aging, disability, housing, and food programs for our 8,214 clients across Washington. Lifelong is also proud to include Seattle Pride’s Youth Programs as a beneficiary, supporting opportunities for LGBTQIA2S+ youth ages 12 to 18 to share their creativity, perspectives, and imagination.
