Hey Everyone!
It's that time of year again where I raise money for Outright Vermont, the amazing organization that I have the privilege of working for!
This time I'm working with team of 12, although so far we're just 6 so if anyone is interested in participating let me know, to pull a fire truck up Church Street in Burlington on September 18th @ noon! This event is our Annual Fundraiser and has been a huge success in years past raising $16,000.00 last year! This year we're hoping to crush that number out of the water by having more teams then ever!
Not sure how much to give? $5, $10, $20, $50. I haven't forgotten that many of you were extremely generous in my fundraising for the marathon this spring, and helped me raise $1100.00. I therefor, completely understand that you may not be able to give again. But if you could consider making a smaller donation of some kind, it would be simply amazing to me!
Below you can read a little more about our wonderful organization, and of course if you wan to learn more shoot me an e-mail, or check out our website!
Outright Vermont (Outright) was founded in 1989 following the release of a 1988 national youth risk survey showing that gay and lesbian youth in particular had very high rates of depression and suicide. A group of community activists gathered to form Outright, which began as a “once a week” support group. Our Friday Night support group has continued ever since, every Friday over the past 20 years. Today, Outright is a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQQ) ‘queer’ youth center and statewide advocacy organization.
The Mission of Outright is to build safe, healthy, and supportive environments for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth (ages 13-22). Our goal is to make Vermont the safest, most supportive and empowering state for queer youth in the United States of America. (From our Website)
Thank you very much for the support everyone, and I hope you can all join us for the Pull! It's gonna be a hoot!
With Love! ~Corrine
