Most of us in the LGBTQIA+ community have a story that involves the need to feel accepted, seen, heard, and loved. This includes the need to have role models who are open, proud, and successful in their careers.

I joined the Board of Directors for Out for Education (OFE) because I want to help rewrite that narrative for our youth. OFE has helped over 400 individuals by making their future a little more affordable, awarding over $2 million in scholarships since 1999!

This Giving Tuesday (December 3rd), we have a unique opportunity to make a difference. By participating in our virtual silent auction, you can directly contribute to a student’s journey to college or trade school. Imagine the joy and relief on a young person’s face when they receive the news that their dreams are within reach because of your generosity.

Every bid you place is a step towards a brighter future for our youth. Not only can you help send a student to college or trade school, but you can also walk away with some fantastic gifts for yourself or someone special.

Join us in creating a world where every LGBTQIA+ youth feels accepted, seen, and empowered to succeed. Your support can change lives. Let’s make this Giving Tuesday a day of hope and opportunity!
