The Goosebumps Gala

Haunted. Supernatural. Chilling.

On Thursday, October 15th, 2026 step into the spine-tingling world of the Goosebumps Gala — an unforgettable night benefiting Youth Pride, Inc. and the LGBTQ+ youth and young adults who rely on us every day. Inspired by the iconic book series that defined a generation, this immersive fundraiser blends nostalgia, camp, eerie elegance, and unexpected thrills into one hauntingly good evening.

Guests will experience a themed cocktail, interactive activities, music, dancing, drag, raffles, silent auction, live entertainment, and surprises lurking around every corner — all while helping ensure that LGBTQ+ young people across New England and beyond have access to affirming community, resources, and support. For more than 30 years, Youth Pride, Inc. has served as a lighthouse for youth navigating identity, isolation, and uncertainty, especially as many continue to face hostility both nationally and in their own backyards.

Whether you arrive as the mysterious protagonist, the final survivor, or the creature under the bed, the Goosebumps Gala invites you to embrace the strange, the bold, and the beautifully different.

Because every young person deserves a place where they don’t have to be afraid to be themselves.

Annual Soirée & Gala

In the early fall, Youth Pride, Inc. hosts the organization’s largest fundraising event of the year in the form of a gala, soirée, or evening gathering.

We show up and show out in Providence to support Rhode Island’s largest drop-in center for LGBTQ+ youth to hear more about the myriad of ways our organization has provided resources and refuge to LGBTQ+ youth across The Ocean State and Southern New England.
