Saugus High School is in Santa Clarita, CA--a mere 35 miles north of Los Angeles. It is a conservative community with a pretty vibrant Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, etc. community. All 5 comprehensive high schools have a Gay-Straight Alliance Club.
Even though there are GSAs at the high schools, many LGBTQA+ students do not feel comfortable attending their high school proms. The OUTreach Center in the Antelope Valley has taken on the task of creating an LGBTQA Straight & Ally Prom--it will take place Saturday, May 7, 2016. We are very excited to attend and need help to get there.
In 2013 we were able to take 8 students to this event. In 2014, 22 attended. Last year, due solely to GoFundMe donations, we were able to take 42 to this exceptional event.
A donation of $100 pays for one student's prom ticket, corsage or boutineere and transportation. We will be posting testimonials here as Prom time nears--this is THE event for so many.
Thank you.
