✨ THEN ➡️ NOW… AND WE’RE STILL GROWING! 🖤💛

It started in 2023 with a vision to bring our community together during the holiday season for an unforgettable evening of celebration, connection and culture.

Then came 2024… and we elevated the experience.

By 2025, the JerkFest Cares Holiday Gala had become a night our community looks forward to — beautiful people, incredible energy, great food, music, dancing and memories that last long after the night is over.

Now here we are heading into YEAR FOUR! 🥂✨

Swipe through and take a little trip down memory lane with us. From our very first Gala in 2023 to 2025, you can see the growth, the familiar faces and the moments that have made each year special.

And trust us… 2026 is about to add another chapter. 👀🔥
