UNI Proud held their annual Halloween Dragaganza on Friday, Oct. 27, in the Lang Hall Auditorium. The Halloween Dragaganza has been ongoing for over 10 years now. Some performers on Friday included: Dr. Bay, Hollywood Hope, Artemis Cardiac, Taylor Slayswift and Alex Gayskarth.

While the performers were dressed up in costumes, there were also numerous members of the audience dressed up to participate in the Halloween costume contest. Some participants of the costume contest dressed up as: Mario and Luigi, the Babadook, Mean Girls characters and Minnie & Mickey Mouse.

The winner of the costume contest was an individual who dressed up as Charlie Price from the Broadway Show “Kinky Boots.”

The Dragaganza Show featured performances to older songs, such as “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls and “Come Little Children” from Hocus Pocus, as well as current chart toppers like Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do.”

Throughout the night, the performers could receive donations from audience members. All donations went to The jOURney Foundation.

The jOURney Foundation is an organization with the mission of providing support and resources for people in the transgender, intersex and gender-non-conforming community.

UNI Proud raised $47 for the jOURney Foundation.
