Join us on Monday, September 28, 2026 (6:00 PM – 9:00 PM) at Embassy Suites Downtown Orlando for Pride, Plates & Purpose for Orlando Youth Alliance's most important night of the year. OYA's signature Celebrity Server Event brings together community leaders, allies, and supporters for an high-energy evening of celebration, to raise critical funds to continue providing safe spaces, mentorship, support programs, and enriching experiences for LGBTQIA+ youth across Central Florida.
At the heart of the evening are four dynamic fundraising teams (Red, Yellow, Blue and Green) pairing a local Celebrity Server with an OYA Youth Ambassador, creating a powerful partnership that brings the mission to life. Throughout the night, teams will rally support, engage guests, and compete in spirited fundraising challenges all in support of OYA's life-changing work.
