‘Drag Race’ alum Jasmine Kennedie joins local faves for Night of Stars fundraiser TAMMYE NASH | Managing Editor nash@dallasvoice.com The Greg Dollgener Memorial AIDS Fund and Team Metro are teaming up once again to present one of GDMAF’s two signature fundraising events, The Night of Stars.
The event is happening Saturday, Sept. 10 in the legendary Rose Room inside S4, and Jasmine Kennedie, from Season 14 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, is the special guest performer, leading a lineup of stellar local entertainers. “All of these local entertainers are longtime supporters of Team Metro and of GDMAF,” said organizer Joseph Flores. “They each donate their performances for this event, and they donate all the tips they receive that night to help Team Metro achieve its fundraising goal for LifeWalk each year.” Those entertainers include Gloria Devine, Linze Serrell, Devon DeVasquez, Sienna Silver, Cassie Nova, Jenna Skyy, Carmella Dubuque, Dahlia Von Hexx Savage, Vanity Storm and Wayne Smith as Cher.
Jasmine Kennedie, from New York, placed eighth in Season 14 of Drag Race and will be joining the cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race Live in Las Vegas.
She came out as a transgender woman in episode seven of Season 14, and was the fourth contestant in her season — following Kerri Colby, Kornbread Jeté and Bosco.
