In RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE ALL STARS season nine, eight fan-favorite queens return to use their drag superpowers for good, competing to win a supersized donation of $200,000, provided by The Palette Fund, for a charity of their choosing. The Palette Fund is a private foundation dedicated to breaking down barriers and advancing social change in communities that are under-resourced and facing significant challenges. This season marks the first time in franchise herstory where the queens are competing for charity and harnessing their drag skills to win money for a variety of organizations.
The eight queens returning to RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE ALL STARS and the charities they have chosen to compete for are Angeria Paris VanMicheals (Season 14) for the National Black Justice Collective, Gottmik (Season 13) for Trans Lifeline, Jorgeous (Season 14) for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Nina West (Season 11) for The Trevor Project, Plastique Tiara (Season 11) for The Asian American Foundation, Roxxxy Andrews (Season 5, ALL STARS 2) for Miracle of Love, Shannel (Season 1, ALL STARS 1) for the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and Vanessa Vanjie (Season 10, 11) for the ASPCA.
Additionally, new episodes of RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE ALL STARS: UNTUCKED – available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ on May 17 – take viewers behind the scenes to the backstage drama as the queens anxiously await their fate each week.
