The road to Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend is always & continuously paved
with good intentions!
Socially
responsible, The Dinah sees to it that this “consciousness” permeates everything
it does year after year. Stepping up its efforts with increasing effectiveness
and productivity, its commitment to “give back” and advance goodwill has successfully
translated into community activism, famously partnering with a variety of
activist associations and charity organizations such as GLAAD, NOH8,
Love is Louder, Equality California, The Los Angeles Gay &
Lesbian Center and HRC among others.
As the biggest All-Girl Party in the world, The Dinah also
prides itself in giving back to the LGBT community remaining faithful to its
“party with a purpose” theme to remind everyone that while we have made a lot
of strides, we’re still fighting for our rights!
Actively travailing to support the LGBT community by championing social and political causes directly affecting it, Club Skirts' philanthropic involvement extends beyond the actual Dinah Shore Weekend to an all year-long participation into a series of local and national events.
And this past weekend certainly kept all of us at Club Skirts more than busy as we attended 3 high-profiled celebrations: the 75th Birthday of Palm Springs, The GLAAD Media Awards and the Outfest Women's Soiree.

The 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards:
In the evening, back in downtown Los Angeles, we attended the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at the J.W. Marriott hotel. The event, hosted by Drew Barrymore, boasted such Hollywood heavyweights as presenters Charlize Theron, Betty White, Toby McGuire and Leonardo DiCaprio, to name a few.
The highlight of the soiree was marked by Harvey Weinstein and Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence presenting the inaugural Advocate for Change Award to former President Bill Clinton.
