The Detroit Lions Present

Michigan LCV Annual Detroit Gala

Join Michigan LCV at the 14th Annual Detroit Gala presented by the Detroit Lions!

October 7, 2026 | 6pm at Elevate at One Campus Martius in Detroit, a stunning venue in the heart of Detroit, perfect for an evening of inspiration, connection, and action.

An evening of recognition, action, and impact

Don’t believe the hype. The White House wants you to think the environmental movement is losing steam, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Support for our air, land, water, and democracy has never been stronger.

We’re winning the hearts and minds of the people of Michigan on both sides of the aisle — and now, it’s time for action.

Join us for the 14th annual Detroit Gala as we celebrate how far we’ve come and pause to convene on the path ahead of us. Look forward to a night of comradery, celebrating change makers, and great food — all with an amazing view of downtown Detroit.

No, this isn’t your average fundraiser. Instead, it’s a chance to lift up unsung voices, marvel at the strength of our movement, and get energized — all while having fun doing it! Be a part of the solution and join us in Detroit. See you there!
