Compass is celebrating its 35th anniversary as an organization and we are going to party together at the Stonewall Ball!!!

This year's theme is "Back to Our Future". Prior to the last several years, our community had made tremendous progress. 50+ years of fighting for our rights had made the future for LGBTQ+ people bright. As the hateful political rhetoric and laws limiting our rights are passing all over the United States, we are focusing on getting BACK TO THE FUTURE for which we fought so hard!

As always the evening promises great company, delicious food and drinks, a fabulous silent auction, live entertainment, an awards ceremony, and much more!

Come dressed to impress and, if you'd like, keep this year's theme: Back to the Future, in mind! 

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 35 years. Funds raised support LGBTQ+ people with programs such as: HIV/AIDS Insurance premium and co-pay programs and peer-support groups, youth groups and activities, transgender resources and support, free mental health services, and cultural competency trainings for government agencies, corporations, and small businesses. 

We hope you can join us for a celebration that will be talked about well into our future!

About DJ Legato:

When working with clients like Jonathan Cheban, NFL receiver Antonio Brown and The Chainsmokers just to name a few; being versatile is the primary talent DJ Legato brings to the table. Currently getting booked in parts of Canada and Brazil along with his local south Florida gigs one thing he knows is looking at a room and managing a crowd. Corporate clients include playing at events for Coca-Cola and Burger King also working Pride Events in Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale & Miami.

Within the first two and a half years of his career Legato was booked in places like Miami, New York, California, Nevada and Canada.

He was seen on Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club Miami as their official DJ. Major market radio experience includes being an on-air talent for Miami’s Hits 97.3.

"To me being a deejay is not about becoming famous, it's about musically hitting the souls of people whether it’s a private party of ten or a nightclub of one thousand." - DJ Legato
