The Board of Directors invites you to PFLAG NYC’s 50th Anniversary Gala, a night of celebration, recognition, and appreciation!
For five decades, PFLAG NYC has provided support, education, and advocacy to parents, families, and friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) individuals in the New York City metropolitan area. We’ve come a long way in 50 years, but much work must be done to advance LGBTQ+ equality and create a more inclusive society for all.
All proceeds from the gala will go towards supporting PFLAG NYC’s ongoing work to provide support, education, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. We hope you’ll join us for this unforgettable night and help us continue our mission for another 50 years and beyond.
We look forward to celebrating with you!
