to big impact

What started as an idea for a laid-back, do-good happy hour quickly evolved into Wigs & Waffles, our signature annual event. Now, we host events throughout the year to give back to the LGBTQ+ community in Greater Cincinnati.

At Queen City Charities^®, we dream big. We hope you will, too.
