“We’re excited to invite the community to House of DIFFA, happening Saturday, May 9th at the Sheraton Downtown Dallas. This incredible event not only celebrates fashion, creativity, and community, but also supports a mission that truly matters. DIFFA Dallas raises vital funds for AIDS Service Organizations across North Texas, and what makes our work unique is that we provide unrestricted funding—allowing these organizations to use the resources wherever they’re needed most in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Our board is a working board, meaning every event we produce directly contributes to the impact we’re able to make. We look forward to seeing everyone come together for an unforgettable night with a powerful purpose.” says J.R. Shoman.
House of DIFFA returns on Saturday, May 9th at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel, bringing together the Dallas community for an evening of high fashion, entertainment, and meaningful impact.
Hosted by DIFFA Dallas, the event serves as one of the organization’s premier fundraisers, supporting its mission to provide financial assistance to AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) throughout North Texas. Unlike many grant programs, DIFFA Dallas distributes unrestricted funds, allowing recipient organizations the flexibility to allocate resources where they are needed most—whether for prevention, treatment, housing, or direct support services for individuals impacted by HIV/AIDS.
What sets DIFFA Dallas apart is its dedicated working board, whose members actively produce and execute the organization’s major fundraising events. Through initiatives like House of DIFFA, the team raises critical funds that are then reinvested into the local community, ensuring continued support for frontline organizations addressing HIV/AIDS.
As anticipation builds for this year’s event, attendees can expect a dynamic evening that blends purpose with celebration—an opportunity to engage, give back, and be part of a cause that continues to make a lasting difference across North Texas.
All nonprofit organizations are encouraged to attend this evening at The IVY Tavern—whether featured for the month or not. Participating groups will have the opportunity to host a table, share information, and promote upcoming events and initiatives. “We hope this creates a space where organizations can connect, collaborate, and simply enjoy a fun, relaxed environment together,” Smoot says.
The evening will feature music by Dallas favorite DJ Tony Dean, MC from Kidd Kraddick Morning Show, Part Time Justin, and Award-Winning Stage/Drag Performer, Jada Pinkett Fox— along with discounted drinks, complimentary bites, and opportunities for guests to make additional donations—because every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
Unleashed LGBTQ+ and The Ivy Tavern will continue this monthly series, supporting a rotating lineup of nonprofits, with a focus on AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) and community-driven initiatives.
Non-profits interested in being considered as a future beneficiary are encouraged to reach out to Justin Grucholski at info@unleashedlgbtq.com.
