The Western Montana Community Center

The Western Montana Community Center In Montana, where opportunities to socialize with other LGBTIQ people are few, a Community Center is

In Montana, where opportunities to socialize with other LGBT people are few and far between, a Community Center is a valuable resource. That's why the Western Montana Community Center opened in Missoula, MT on October 11, 1999. The Center provides a safe and welcoming environment for LGBT identified community members and their allies to socialize, build relationships, explore our multitude of prog

rams and social gatherings, and engage in critical advocacy work to protect and advance LGBTQ rights at the local and state level.

📻🌈 Turn it up for The Trail & The U!

We’re thrilled to recognize 104.5 The U as one of our top sponsors of the 26th Annual Rainbow Ball!

Through their generous advertising partnership, The Trail & The U are helping us spread the word about Rainbow Ball across Western Montana and invite even more people to join us for a night of community, connection, and celebration.

Support like this goes far beyond the airwaves. By sharing their platform with the LGBTQ+ Center, they’re helping us reach new audiences, welcome more allies, and make our biggest fundraiser of the year even more successful.

Thank you, The Trail & The U, for turning up the volume on LGBTQ+ community in Western Montana. 🏳️‍🌈📻

🌈 CHAMPION SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT 🌈

A huge thank you to Logjam Presents for joining us as a Champion Sponsor of the 2026 Rainbow Ball!

Not only are they helping us celebrate 26 years of community, resilience, and love at The Wilma, Logjam Presents is generously donating a portion of the room rental back to the Western Montana LGBTQ+ Community Center.

Support like this means more of the money raised at the Rainbow Ball can go directly toward the Center's programs, resources, and work supporting LGBTQ+ people across western Montana. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We’re grateful to Logjam Presents for helping us create an incredible night while investing right back into our community. 💜
