Every year, we host 3 signature events: the LGBTQ Youth Scholarship Awards Ceremony, the Purple Lily Awards Gala and the Calavera LGBTQ Festival. Each event has its own specific purpose, but all three are centered around our mission and community.
Our LGBTQ Youth Scholarship Awards Ceremony grants scholarships to youth in our community seeking to further their education.
Our Purple Lily Awards Gala celebrates local leaders who create and maintain safe spaces for the Latinx LGBTQ community.
Our Calavera LGBTQ Festival celebrates our identities by honoring our ancestors and uplifting our queer voices.
Our community fundraisers are created in partnership with other organizations and contribute to our Scholarship Fund, youth development programming, and overall impact.
