We Made It – A Fundraiser for LGBTQ Youth
Hosted By: Colin Bishop, Alex Levy, Christopher Nulty, Jason Rahlan, Trevor Thomas & Scott Zumwalt

We made it.
Washington, DC is full of many happy and accomplished LGBTQ adults. As teenagers, most of us struggled to imagine a future like this for ourselves. Sure, life isn't always perfect, but it's certainly worth living.
Across the country, countless LGBTQ teens struggle for survival each day. They're bullied and harassed, rejected by their friends and family. They don't realize that a brighter future lies just a few years ahead of them. They don't realize It Gets Better.
The tragic stories have continued: thirteen-year-old boys in Texas and California, fifteen-year-old boys in Indiana and Minnesota, and an eighteen-year-old in New Jersey. Whether you knew a struggling teenager in high school or were one yourself, these tragedies deserve more than a passing thought.
This weekend is full of happy hours, dance parties, birthday blowouts, a black-tie dinner, and too many after-parties to count. Let's all come together -- members of the LGBTQ community and our allies -- for an event supporting the kids who don't believe their lives will ever be celebrated.
Please join us this Friday at 18th & U Duplex Diner to support The Trevor Project, a phenomenal national organization that provides crisis support and suicide prevention resources to LGBTQ youth.
Your $10 donation at the door will go directly to The Trevor Project and you will receive discounted rail drinks all night, courtesy of 18th & U Duplex Diner.
We hope you'll join us.

Can't make it tonight, but I hope it goes great!
In FL this weekend, wish I could've been there.
This is such a wonderful idea, and though I can't be there, Trevor has my donation.

Thanks for the support, Cameron!
I can't make it down to DC this weekend, but good luck with your event!
Wish I could attend but I can't make it down to DC this weekend.
I'll be out of town this weekend; best of luck to you guys!
Can't make it down to DC this weekend, is there a way to donate online?
Thanks Allison! You can donate by clicking here: http://bit.ly/trevordcdonate
We set that shortcut up for our event.
Thank you again!
I apologize I am out of town. But Trevor always has my support!
sorry - I'll be in SF
I'll be out of town - congrats on the great response so far!
I wish I could go, I won't be in the area. I think this is a FANTASTIC cause and I definitely want to be able to participate in the future.
I'll be out of town--best of luck!
I wish I wasn't going to be out of town this weekend!
I'll be there, and I'll bring as many people I know as I can!
Wish I could be there - Everyone should support this organization & I do every month!
We'll be away at a wedding -- wish we could be there!
I'll be there!
You guys are awesome for doing this, sorry that I can't be there.
Sadly I won't be in DC, but good luck with the event!
Ok, favor to ask: A bunch of friends want to come, but also want to watch the Phillies/Reds game (us midwesterners don't give up our habits). Can Duplex put one of the TVs on the game? I realize how silly this is given the cause, but ... well, we wanna donate, and watch the game, too.
If it was a Cubs game, I'd be more sympathetic. But I'm sure we can work it out.
Deal. I will personally ensure the game is playing at the bar.
Awesome! Thanks!
I'm really sad I am going to miss this. Will send you guys an e-mail with my pledge. Know that I'm working hard in NJ to spread the word.
Thanks Tim!
I'm going to be out of town for my sister's wedding, but what a great cause!
Wish I could be there in DC to help support this great cause with you all. Enjoy everyone!
It's easy to invite your friends. Just click the "Invite Additional Guests" link above.
Wish I could go to support this cause. Unfortunately, going to be out of town
I encourage everyone to spread the word to everyone they know both in DC and to others about the Trevor Project. Thank you!
