Tickets for the Chicago White Sox's second annual LGBT Pride Night are now on sale.
Out at the Sox: LGBT Pride Night will be held on Saturday, August 16 as the White Sox face the Toronto Blue Jays.
A portion of select tickets sold will benefit Equality Illinois, the state's largest LGBT rights advocate.
“The White Sox are happy to welcome Equality Illinois to the ballpark for the organization's now annual fundraiser,” Christine O'Reilly, senior director of community relations, said in an emailed statement. “We are proud to offer this type of opportunity at the ballpark for non-profit groups that are making a positive impact in our community.”
“We are building a new tradition with our second year of Out at the Sox,” Equality Illinois CEO Bernard Cherkasov said. “We appreciate the involvement of the Sox organization in welcoming fans not only for this special LGBT Pride Night but throughout the baseball season.”
Admission to a pregame mixer at Crew Bar & Grill, Chicago's premiere sports bar for the gay community, is included with the purchase of a $45 ticket.
