'A Night Out for Trevor' Raises Awareness of LGBT Youth Suicide
EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.
On September 16, The Trevor Project brings its signature event "A Night Out For Trevor" to Chicago! Sponsored by Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants and Astellas, this event will bring together local community members, donors and sponsors for an evening of fundraising and awareness of The Trevor Project's lifesaving mission to end suicide among LGBTQ youth, and features a special guest performance by Steve Grand.
This event is a unique opportunity to gather in a stunning, intimate setting while learning about Trevor's crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ young people. Guests will have an opportunity to learn more about The Trevor Project's Ambassador Program. The Chicago Ambassadors are a network of inspiring volunteers who help to expand The Trevor Project's reach, raise awareness of our programs, raise life-saving funds, plan regional events, and advocate for the young people The Trevor Project serves.
The Trevor Project is thrilled to be in Chicago spreading awareness of and support for this important cause through generous sponsorship from Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. As the Premier National Hotel Sponsor of Trevor, the team at Kimpton believes that diversity of beliefs, backgrounds, gender and sexual orientation can only serve to make a community stronger.
The Trevor Project is the leading national organization focused on crisis intervention and suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ youth. Every day, The Trevor Project saves young lives through its free and confidential lifeline, educational materials, online resources, and advocacy.
"A Night Out For Trevor" will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, September 16 at the Kimpton Gray Hotel, 122 W. Monroe St., Chicago, IL 60603. The event is free general admission, with a hosted bar provided by Proximo.
