Christen & Po's Pride Month Fundraiser
As many of you may know, June is Pride Month, a month to celebrate the history of Pride, and the members of the LGBTQIA+ community! So, this year as a way to celebrate Pride month, Christen and I have joined together along with some local Portland businesses to raise money for the Trevor Project.
The mission of The Trevor Project is to end suicide among gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning young people. They focus mostly on the mental health of queer youth by providing a safe international space (Trevor Space), 24/7 crisis counselors, research, public education, and advocacy.
Christen and I have compiled some prizes (with collaboration from a couple of our favorite local Portland shops and Jersey Mike's) that YOU have the opportunity to win! To enter:

To be more specific about what the Trevor Project does:
Provides confidential crisis counselors 24/7, 365 days a year for kids who are coming out, questioning their identity, experiencing depression, or thoughts of suicide. They offer educational services to allies and educators to help them better support LGBTQ+ young people and understand their needs. They offer TrevorSpace, an affirming, online community for LGBTQ young people between the ages of 13-24, creating a space for users to connect, offer advice, and make friends in a community designed for them.
