This Year’s Theme
Legacy of Love: Decades of Defiance
For half a century, Howard Brown has championed a legacy built by those who dared to be seen. Channel five decades of iconic style, whether you’re serving ’70s disco, ’80s rebellion, ’90s grunge, Y2K glam, or a futuristic remix of what’s next. Mix eras, break rules, and celebrate the fearless spirit of those who paved the way because decades change – but defiance endures.
Why WIG Matters
Howard Brown Health is the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ health provider, serving more than 40,000 adults and youth each year. Across Chicago, we provide care for 1 in 4 people living with HIV, 1 in 5 LGBTQ+ Chicagoans, and over 3 out of 4 trans and non-binary residents.
Our mission is to advance health equity by providing affirming, high-quality care to LGBTQ+ people and allies. But, with more than 1 in 4 of our patients receiving care on a sliding scale, community support is essential. Every dollar raised through WIG: Work It, Girl goes directly toward funding essential programs, expanding services, and fighting health disparities across our city.
Together, we’ll raise $100,000 to support Howard Brown’s lifesaving programs – enough to help 80 people start PrEP, cover 350 dental visits for uninsured people, fund 400 first-time affirming therapy sessions, or provide more than 650 primary care visits.
