AKRON'S THIRD ANNUAL TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY CELEBRATION

Our TDOV Planning Team is excited to host Akron's Trans Day of Visibility Celebration on March 29, 2024!

The purpose of Akron's free, family friendly Trans Day of Visibility Celebration is to:

• Celebrate the trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive community.

• Encourage people who can't be out or who are still figuring it out.

• Educate and empower.

Now, more than ever, we need to demonstrate tangible support for our trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive community. Our TDOV Planning Team is working hard but has a very limited budget.

Would you consider making a financial donation to this event? Though TDOV is just one night, the benefits of community engagement last throughout the year.

History: Local organizations hosted Akron's first ever TDOV celebration in 2022. The next year, 2023, almost 300 people attended! Our diverse guests included people of all ages: families with young children, teens, college students, and young adults through retirement age.

Estimated number of attendees in 2024? At least 300, but we're preparing for 400! Guests last year traveled from Cleveland, Canton, Youngstown, and even Pittsburgh in addition to Kent, Akron, and the local suburbs.

Education is crucial: Local organizations share important information by tabling. We also provide "swag bags" filled with organizations' fun items and educational material.

We would truly appreciate your support if you choose to make a donation to Akron's Trans Day of Visibility Celebration. Please know that every donation helps and is such an encouragement as well!

**This platform does not currently provide a tax-deductible donation option through our acting fiscal agent. Please reach out if you'd like to write a check and receive a tax-deductible receipt.

Thank you for your consideration. Please contact us with questions or plans to participate.
