E3 Radio's 11th Annual Purple Tie Affair: Concert & Silent Auction

A Look Back!

The Purple Tie Affair: Concert & Silent Auction is more than a fundraiser, it’s a celebration! While we raise money for E3 Radio, we also give back to organizations making a meaningful difference here in Chicago. Come out and join us for an evening of live music, fierce drag performances, and a one-of-a-kind silent auction.

When you buy a ticket you:

• Help keep independent, Black & queer‑owned media alive and thriving
• Support local grassroots organizations making real change in Chicago
• Ensure LGBTQ stories continue to be told, amplified, and celebrated in our community

This year, we’re excited to support Taskforce Prevention and Community Services, which improves the sexual health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ youth of color by providing safe spaces, fellowship, and community-driven solutions.

We look forward to seeing you there!
