Chappell Roan is putting on a huge two-night fundraiser to support trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities.
The pop star has announced The Super Graphic Spectacular, an event taking place at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium on October 21 and 22.
The two-night event will feature drag, live entertainment, special guests and community engagement, with a performance from Roan herself. All net proceeds will go to her Midwest Princess Project.
Roan launched the non-profit in 2025 to support trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities, and it has already raised more than $800,000 (£593,601) and supported over 60 organisations across the US and beyond.
Those organisations include the Ali Forney Center, which supports LGBTQ+ young people experiencing homelessness, the TransLatin@ Coalition, which advocates for transgender, gender-expansive and intersex Latine people, and The Center Project in Missouri.
Announcing the event, Roan promised it would be “filled with drag, dance, guests, surprises, and funnnn!!” She also said she would be doing a special performance.
The fundraiser comes as LGBTQ+ organisations across the US continue to face pressure on funding and resources, making initiatives like this especially important.
We love to see it: a pop star using her platform to support the LGBTQ+ community and give back through her own charitable project.
