E3 Radio's 12th 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 Toward Pride formally known as Pride in the Pews. They envision a world where LGBTQ+ communities are embraced by social, civic, and faith-based institutions that insist on our freedom and full flourishing.

We look forward to seeing you there!
