Modern Love: A Mid-Century Gala
100 Marquette Dr
Detroit Michigan, 48214
Modern Love: A Mid-Century Gala is Crossroads of Michigan's signature fundraising event and one of our most important evenings of the year. Held at Detroit's iconic Roostertail, this year's gala celebrates the timeless style, optimism, and innovation of the mid-century era while honoring the compassion and community that define Crossroads' mission.
Enjoy an unforgettable evening of retro elegance, live entertainment, and meaningful connection as we come together to support individuals and families experiencing homelessness and poverty. Every ticket purchased helps provide nutritious meals, emergency food assistance, clothing and hygiene essentials, identification documents, transportation, housing and benefits navigation, and other critical services that help our neighbors build lasting stability.
The evening will include:
- Cocktail hour with waterfront views
- Strolling dinner and music
- Silent auction featuring exclusive experiences and unique items
- Raffle prizes
- Inspiring stories of hope and transformation from Crossroads clients and supporters
- Opportunities to connect with community, civic, and business leaders committed to strengthening Detroit
Join us for a night where timeless design meets enduring compassion. Together, we'll celebrate the power of modern love in action—creating hope, restoring dignity, and changing lives across our community.
