Next month, we’ll be hosting more fundraising events to celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month and to continue raising funds with the amazing community that has rallied behind us 👥🗣️ To everyone who has donated, organized events, volunteered, raised funds, or shared our campaign—thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
