SPRING FLING

Spring Fling is the Caucus’ annual all-white fundraiser, a cherished tradition that brings together community and supporters to advance health equity for Black gay, bisexual, and same-gender-loving men. Every year, we also celebrate the Chicago Black Gay Hall of Fame, honoring the trailblazers who have shaped our history and continue to inspire future generations.

Spring Fling 2026 –
Thank You for
Celebrating With Us!

To every guest, donor, volunteer, sponsor, performer, auction donor, bidder, Hall of Fame inductee, and community member who joined us for Spring Fling 2026…THANK YOU!!!

This year's Chicago Black Gay Hall of Fame ceremony was a powerful reminder that none of us arrive where we are by ourselves.

We were honored to induct Dr. E. Patrick Johnson, John Sykes, Otis Mack, David Dodd, KC Productions (Ken Beach and the late DJ Craig Cannonball), and Dr. Maya Green. We thank and appreciate each of these honorees for the countless ways they have shaped, strengthened, and uplifted our community.

We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors. A special thank you to Bayab African Grown Gin and Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey for helping create a memorable experience for our guests, and to Sidetrack for their generous support of our silent auction. Partnerships like these make it possible for us to celebrate our community while investing in its future.

To everyone who donated auction items, placed bids, made contributions, volunteered their time, or simply showed up in support…THANK YOU!

Every act of generosity mattered.
