Something extraordinary is coming back to Elgin this December — and it’s bringing all the sparkle, heart, and community you could hope for.

On Saturday, December 14, 2025, the 2nd Annual Chocolate Drop Drag Brunch & Auction returns to Revelry, bringing together dazzling entertainment, decadent food, and a powerful purpose. This event is more than a brunch — it’s a movement of love, laughter, and giving, supporting Open Door Health Center of Illinois and our mission to make healthcare a right, not a privilege.

✨ A Brunch with a Purpose

When you walk into Chocolate Drop, you’ll be greeted with energy that radiates pride, joy, and inclusion. Guests enjoy a fabulous brunch, bottomless mimosas, show-stopping drag performances, and a live auction full of irresistible prizes — but the real magic happens in what this event supports.

Every dollar raised helps Open Door continue to provide compassionate, judgment-free care to the communities who need it most — including those affected by or at risk for HIV/AIDS and members of the LGBTQ+ community across northern Illinois.

Through testing, treatment, PrEP programs, behavioral health services, and wrap-around support like housing and case management, Open Door ensures that no one faces healthcare barriers alone.

👑 The Queen of Queens Returns

We’re beyond thrilled to welcome back our reigning Queen of Queens, Dr. Moana Lotte, whose talent and charisma light up the stage and hearts of everyone in the room. Dr. Moana’s commitment to community and advocacy makes her more than a performer — she’s an inspiration.

“Chocolate Drop is about joy with a purpose,” says Dr. Moana. “We’re not just celebrating — we’re raising awareness, building community, and funding care that saves lives.”

With a lineup of incredible local performers, this year’s show promises even more sparkle, sass, and soul than before.

💜 Community Partners in Action

This year’s event will once again be hosted at Revelry, one of downtown Elgin’s favorite venues — and a proud supporter of community-driven causes. From their stunning space to their warm hospitality, Revelry helps make Chocolate Drop a welcoming experience for all.

We’re also grateful to our growing list of sponsors and community partners, whose generosity fuels our mission. Every sponsorship, auction donation, and ticket sold directly supports our programs that provide access, education, and care to those who need it most.
