Thank you to everyone who performed, spoke, attended, snapped, clapped, donated, and/or sponsored the event!


We were delighted with Night of Noise: We’re Still Connected, the annual variety show first hosted by Illinois Safe Schools Alliance in 2016 — held virtually this year on Sunday, April 25, 2021.

Check out our Instagram for photos.

Night of Noise marks the end of a Day of Silence, wherein students in over 10,000 middle schools, high schools, and universities worldwide take a day-long vow of silence to honor those in the LGBTQ+ community whose voices often go unheard.

There is still a lot of work to do to realize PHIMC’s vision of health equity, particularly in times like these, and we need your support to get there. We are grateful we were able to also take a moment for celebration with you!

There is still time to donate!

Sustaining donors will receive a Night of Noise Drink Book with Cocktail and Mocktail recipes in time for Pride Month in June.


This past year has pushed us to reimagine what connectedness can look like. While physical distance may keep us apart for now, our passion for health equity and the safety, care, treatment, and support of LGBTQ+ youth connects us all. Night of Noise is a chance each year for us to come together, connect, and make some noise!

Thank you!
