Be sure to donate in advance as every dollar we raise will benefit Center Global and LGBTI people from around the world fleeing persecution in their home countries in search of a safe and better life. We seek to raise $15,000 by the end of the year to support LGBTI asylum seekers participating in our program. It costs Center Global an average of $1,680 to support one LGBTI asylum seeker. The evening will feature a cash bar and light refreshments. Suggested donation at the door is $20 and includes one free drink ticket. There will be a silent auction featuring world-class wines, spa and salon gift certificates, movie tickets, a 4-hour home or office karaoke session, and more! And we will be honoring local community LGBTI activists, including those who are asylum seekers or asylees for their work as human rights defenders. Please join us in supporting those who need our help!
