Previously announced participants include Jesse Tyler Ferguson (“Modern Family”), Ashley Park (“Emily in Paris”), Jinkx Monsoon (“RuPaul’s Drag Race”), Colton Underwood (“Coming Out Colton”) and musician Betty Who. Influencers include Caleb Marshall (aka, The Fitness Marshall), Dexter Mayfield, Haley Jordan and Allison Florea. Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman is also expected to attend.
Ticket prices range from $25 to attend to $10,000 to become a chair with access to a pre-reception and reserved table seating for six seats.
“A Dance Party” is hosted by Harris national finance committee members Todd Hawkins and Justin Mikita and The Abbey owner Tristan Schukraft.
The fundraiser comes a week after about 20,000 people joined a LGBTQ community call for Harris. Bold-faced names who spoke during the gathering included Sophia Bush and her girlfriend and former soccer star Ashlyn Harris, Wilson Cruz, Ferguson, Don Lemon and ally and “Wonder Woman” legend Linda Carter.
“We need to come together like never before,” said Cruz (via the Advocate). “Kamala Harris is committed to our community in ways that go beyond mere words. She lives and breathes this fight every day, and I’ve seen it up close.”
While Harris herself won’t be at the Abbey this time around, she made a surprise appearance at the bar when she was a Democratic presidential candidate in 2019 ahead of a CNN town hall about LGBTQ issues.
