For the past two years, Pastor Kaji Doũsa and the Park Avenue Christian Church (PACC) community have welcomed The Center and the Ballroom community with exceptional generosity. Their care and partnership have meant so much to The Center.

The Center—NYC’s home for LGBTQ+ health, wellness, and connection—hosts the annual World of Red Ball for World AIDS Day, honoring the strength of LGBTQ+ people living with HIV & AIDS.

Although the Ball will be held at a different venue this year, it was proudly hosted at PACC for the past two years and will return next year. The Center remains deeply grateful for PACC’s hospitality.

On December 1, The Center will present the Ally Award to Pastor Kaji Doũsa for her outstanding service to the Ballroom community and to The Center’s mission.

The Center invites you to join in honoring its past, celebrating its present, and building a future rooted in community and care.
