In January, Avow Hospice was awarded a grant from the Southwest Florida Community Foundation’s LGBT Community Fund of Southwest Florida. The purpose of the grant is to raise awareness and provide education and outreach to the Southwest Florida community on the challenges that lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transsexual (LGBT) seniors face in Southwest Florida. Avow’s grant proposal included growing its existing LGBT programing to provide additional and enhanced education and outreach programs, including seminars, presentations, panel discussions, and film screenings. The proposal also included hosting other community events to serve and provide the people of southwest Florida with opportunities for growth, understanding, and change.

Our plan was to offer a welcoming, safe space and educational and fellowship opportunity to LGBT middle and high schoolers by offering them free performances, meeting the cast & crews of shows, speaking with them, participation in an activity, and a light dinner. The goal was to prevent the isolation and pain which may lead to depression and suicide for our LGBT youth.
