The Stonewall Ball: Electric Disco

We are thrilled that Compass' Stonewall Ball will return on Saturday, June, 25 2022, in an exciting new venue: The Cox Science Center and Aquarium. As always, the evening promises great company, delicious food and drinks, an expansive auction, live entertainment, an awards ceremony, and much more!

The purpose of Stonewall Ball is to raise funds to sustain programs and operations for Compass Community Center. Compass Community Center has been serving the LGBTQ+ community in Palm Beach County for nearly 35 years. In fact, we are one the oldest continuously operating LGBTQ+ Community Center in South Florida. Funds raised support LGBTQ+ people with programs such as: HIV/AIDS Insurance premium and co-pay program and peer-support groups, youth groups and activities, transgender resources and support, free mental health services, cultural competency trainings for government agencies, corporations, and small businesses.
