The Charity Circuit

Last night I was invited to attend a charity event called "Skool'd" - a benefit for LGBT youth in need - at the Bo Concept Store on Madison Ave & East 30th Street. It was to honor and benefit two organizations. The Ali Forney Center; who's mission is to help homeless LGBT youth be safe and become independent as they move from adolescence to adulthood, and The Trevor Project; which is more of a helpline geared toward helping those in crisis, or those wanting information on how to help someone in crisis. Note that it is the only national 24-hour toll free suicide prevention hotline aimed at gay and questioning youth.

Matt Paco (pictured with me) of MTV was the producer of the event, and he did a remarkable job at getting all the fabulousness there. Miss Nita Aviance was turning it with the music, Milan was sporting a lovely fidero hat, and mistress Edy was there to host the evenings festivities. It was hot!

Susan Cagle (pictured) - as seen on MTV VMA's Pre-show, turned out an amazing performance of some songs from her latest album "the subway recordings". Very grunge! Check her out at www.susancagle.com

For more information on these two extraordinary organizations, and to lend a helping hand or write a fat check - visit: www.aliforneycenter.org & www.thetrevorproject.org. They are doing good work, and it is my duty to support what they do so well; which is making a difference in our society - The LGBT Community.
