Every year the proceeds of the event are donated to a different GLBTQ related charity of Chicago chosen by the hosting school. This year’s Coming Out Ball will have the theme of Beautiful Dirty Hollywood. With a motif that is so open to interpretation, those attending will be able to have their own take on Tinseltown. From the nitty gritty gangsters, to the glamorous Old Hollywood divas, guests will be able to interpret the era and glamour of their favorite aspects of Hollywood. A cocktail party will be hosted in a lounge area, which will be decorated as if it were an Old Hollywood nightclub with wait staff serving hors d'oeuvres and faux cocktails to guests. The lounge will also be featuring a wide array of artwork produced by students of Columbia College Chicago. The actual dance floor is where a majority of the night will take place, with guests dancing and entertainers performing on stage.
