A Season of Celebration, Reflection, and Community.


As we step into November and the holiday season begins to sparkle around us, we’re still glowing from the incredible success of Boas & Bow Ties! The event was a sold-out celebration of joy, generosity, and community spirit. With 15 student scholarships awarded, the incredible performance by The ShowBroads dazzled on stage, and the generosity shown by attendees during the silent and live auctions made it a night to remember.


We also proudly announced that 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the Sacramento Rainbow Chamber of Commerce — a milestone we’ll be celebrating all year long!


This time of year invites us to reflect on what we’ve built together. From mixers and member spotlights to scholarships and advocacy, our Chamber continues to grow in purpose and impact. Every handshake, every partnership, every shared story strengthens the vibrant fabric of our community.


But we also recognize that the world can feel heavy — especially for our LGBTQ+ family. Many of us are carrying not just the weight of our own daily challenges, but also the broader struggles for equality, safety, and acceptance that continue to shape our reality.


In the face of ongoing challenges, our resilience shines. We show up, speak out, and lift each other higher. That’s the power of this Chamber: we are more than a network — we are a force of love, support, and progress.


November is Trans Awareness Month, and we take this moment to honor our transgender and gender-diverse siblings. Your courage and authenticity inspire us daily. We stand with you — this month and always — in solidarity, celebration, and unwavering support.


As the days grow colder, may we all find warmth in connection. Whether it’s at a Chamber event, a coffee catch-up, or a quiet moment of reflection, know that your presence matters. You are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.



So, pour yourself something warm, settle in, and enjoy reading through this month’s updates. There’s so much to be proud of — and even more to look forward to.




Standing in solidarity, 

Sara Hanson 

Sacramento Rainbow Chamber Board President
