The Project of the Quad Cities cordially invites you to our Red Ribbon Ball on Saturday, December 6, at the Hotel Blackhawk.
About the Ball
The Red Ribbon Ball serves as our annual fundraiser for people living with HIV. Featuring entertainment and enticing appetizers, we invite you to join us for a night of savory contrasts in the beautiful Gold Room.
Featuring performances by Mistress Isabelle Brooks of RuPaul’s Drag Race!
Theme - Leather & Lace
Bold Elegance and Unexpected Harmony
Join us for a night that celebrates the power of contrast—where strength meets softness, grit meets grace, and individuality is worn with pride. Leather & Lace is more than a theme—it’s a tribute to the beauty of what happens when bold identities and delicate details come together to create something unforgettable.
