Between now and June 29th, the eve of New York City’s World Pride Parade & Stonewall 50, we have a goal of raising $50,000 for GMHC. GMHC is the world's first HIV/AIDS service organization, is on the front lines providing services to over 13,000 men and women living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, and is fighting to end the AIDS epidemic. This month-long effort will culminate on Saturday evening, June 29th, with our 6th annual New York Rooftop Pride Celebration! All donations are 100% tax-deductible and go directly to GMHC. UPDATE: THANKS TO EVERYONE'S SUPPORT, WE ARE NOW AT CAPACITY AND CANNOT ACCEPT ANY MORE GUESTS. We would still appreciate any donations, but we regret that the event is closed to new guests.
Donations of $250 and up include entry into the Pride Raffle with a chance to win a weekend for two in Fire Island Pines (other great raffle prizes are listed below). Donations of $2,500 and higher will be matched 50% by our event hosts, and include a complimentary invitation to the GMHC 2019 Fall Gala.
