Tribute to David Mixner

Join Victory Fund to celebrate David Mixner with LGBTQ & Ally elected officials and candidates, equality champions and friends as we raise a socially distanced glass to toast the significant accomplishments of David Mixner in advancing LGBTQ Equality. 

During the event you’ll have a chance to hear from elected officials, and some very special guests.  

LGBTQ Victory Fund and Ken Mehlman will present the Lifetime Achievement Award to David Mixner for his lifetime of service. You’ll hear from David as he shares stories as one of Victory Fund’s first board co-chairs, his effort to conceptualize and launch our Presidential Appointments Initiative, and his impact in electing hundreds of LGBTQ candidates to public office.
