I am thrilled to share incredible news—we exceeded our stretch goal at the Future Fabulous fundraiser! Together, we raised $53,312.94.
At the beginning of the year, our target for this event was $30,000. Not only did we meet that, we nearly doubled it thanks to your unwavering support, dedication, and belief in our mission. Beyond the numbers, the night was full of joy, community, and inspiration—a true celebration of the work we are doing together for Houston’s LGBTQ+ youth. Thank you for your leadership and commitment. With momentum like this, we are well-positioned to continue expanding our impact and meeting the growing needs of the young people we serve.
With gratitude and excitement,
Carrie Rai | Executive Director
