GiveOUTDay was a huge success!



Have you heard of Give OUT Day? If you haven't, well us me tell you! Give OUT Day is the national day of giving to LGBTQ organizations across the country! In 2013 Give OUT Day raised over $600,000, from 5,474 individuals in support of over 400 nonprofits groups across the country.


This year Pride for Youth participated in GiveOUTDay by raising money to help support our Coffeehouse, Community Education, Transgender Youth & Youth of Color programs that reached over 7,000 youth on Long Island in 2013 with an open-house phone banking event on May 15th!

  On May 15th, 2014, thousands demonstrated their support for their favorite LGBTQ nonprofits! We had lots of participants, volunteers and parents here phone-banking for Pride for Youth! We raised almost $3,000 to support our life-saving services!


THANK YOU to everyone who called, donated, volunteered time and/or who shared our info on social media that day! All of the amazing pictures from GiveOUTDay are on our Facebook and Instagram!


We cant wait to celebrate GiveOUTDay even bigger next year!
