Dear Friend,


I write to you asking for your help; but please do not feel obliged to participate.

I am running in the 13th Annual Pride and Remembrance Run on June 28. Each year, 100% of the charitable pledges raised are donated to community charities. This year's beneficiaries are the Youth Line Outreach Program and the QUEER YOUTH DIGITAL VIDEO PROJECT (QYDVP).
 
Youth Line Outreach Program.

The Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Youth Line is a vital service provided for youth, by youth in Ontario. The program relies on the generosity of individuals and businesses to pay the bills and to ensure that volunteers are trained. Your donation can help ensure that isolated and at-risk youth throughout Ontario have access to important information and an understanding ear. (http://www.youthline.ca)


QUEER YOUTH DIGITAL VIDEO PROJECT (QYDVP)

Inside Out provides LGBT youth in Toronto with an outlet to find their artistic voice and share their personal stories through the power of the video medium. Your contribution will help provide a creative outlet for self-expression for queer youth in a safe and supportive atmosphere, free of censorship.Ê(http://www.insideout.ca)


I would like to ask you to donate what you can Ð however small or large. With just a $25 online donation, you can make a significant difference in the life of LGBT Youth today. If you wish to donate with a cheque or cash, simply email me to make arrangements. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $25 and up.

Donating online is easy!
