Our mission is to raise awareness and funds, through performance, for Chicago area nonprofits doing services in the LGBT+ community.
We formed in October of 2017 as a group of live-singing Drag Queens and other specialty performers. The seed was planted when one of our Kiki Queens attended a Rubi Girls fundraising show in Dayton, Ohio. For those of you who don't know the them, they are a fantastic group of men who have been raising money (almost at the $2 million mark) through drag performance for the last 30 years. Look them up, they are inspiring!
She brought that idea back home to Chicago where luckily she had a group of pretty talented friends. She pitched the idea of raising money for local LGBT+ nonprofits through live-singing drag performance and it was a no-brainer for all the Queens...and for one, it was, well...she's pretty, you know.
Kiki Queens is entirely self-funded and we will be donating 100% of the ticket sales from our performances to local LGBT+ nonprofits. We want to raise funds and inspire people to engage in the LGBT+ non-profit community as well. Each show, we will partner with a different Chicagoland LGBT+ nonprofit and all proceeds will be donated directly to our nonprofit partner. We can't wait for you to join the Kiki!
