Hello critters, skitterers, and all kinds of fluffy, scaly, feathery friends! We hope you are having a BLAST out here at Furthemore 2025! While you're reapplying your sunscreen and catching some shade from all the fun in the sun, we wanted to chat about our charity of the year!

This year, we are raising funds for The Frederick Center, a 501c3 Nonprofit serving Central Maryland's LGBTQ+ Community!

The Frederick Center is an LGBTQ+ Community Center based in the heart of Frederick County Maryland. Through support, advocacy and education, the Center strives to build a world where everyone can live a happy, fulfilling life and be their authentic self, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Every LGBTQ+ person knows what it's like to worry if people will not love them the same way if they share their truth with their friends, family, colleagues, or peers. The Frederick Center fights for a day where nobody has to live with that fear.

Through support, advocacy, and outreach, TFC changes the lives of LGBTQ+ people living in Maryland.

Support: Our thirteen free peer support and social programs give LGBTQ+ youth, adults, and families a space to find community, make friends, build important social and emotional life skills, and thrive as their authentic selves.
Advocacy: we fight for policies on a local and statewide level that protect trans kids, decriminalize HIV, prevent workplace discrimination, and preserve healthcare for LGBTQ+ youth and adults alike.
Outreach: Through Pride festivals and educational trainings, we bridge gaps in understanding with our cisgender and straight peers, fostering appreciation for LGBTQ+ people in all walks of life.

Every year, The Frederick Center changes thousands of lives in little and big ways. For our core support group clients, who come to us weekly seeking emotional support and community, our free services are vital to their wellbeing. And you all play a TREMENDOUS role in that.

Our goal of $25,000 guarantees that The Frederick Center can cover the cost of two professional LCSW therapists to help run our support groups. Our facilitators ensure that when a client comes into group in crisis, we have the professional skillset on site to help them process it. That presence saves lives.

Whether you can give a little or lot, your support makes a massive difference for our community! Thank you for joining us to make this life-changing work possible.
