Hetrick Martin Institute Emery Awards After Party!!!!!

Brandon Lacy Campos (HMI Young Professionals Council) and partner Nicolas Gérard invite you to join us for the Hetrick-Martin Institute's Emery Awards After Party. Each year, after the formal dinner, when the bow ties are loosened and award

s have been awarded, the real fun begins.

And talk about partying for a cause. The Emery Awards After Party is an amazing soiree featuring an open bar with the finest assortment of top shelf beverages, a rockin' gift bag, and featuring DJ Andy Bell of Erasure fame...and this year there will be a live performance by an artist sponsored by MTV...wanna know who? Lemme tell you how.

Not only will you get an amazing party out of the price of a ticket (that costs no more than a dinner out on the town), but also you will be supporting the Harvey Milk High School, which provides a comprehensive high school environment for at-risk queer, trans, and questioning youth. HMI and the Harvey Milk School serve more than 2,000 young people a year through a variety of social services, arts, education, and political organizing efforts.

Tickets are $125 each, but a portion of each ticket is tax deductible, and, though it is a significant sum of money for many folks, it is no more than the price of a good dinner and after dinner drinks on a Friday night in Manhattan...without the show, goodies, free booze and queer/trans gliteratti. On October 29th choose to spend that night out with us.

Buy your tickets at www.hmi.org/afterparty. Tell them Brandon and Nico sent you.

Lady Gaga and Robin Hood Foundation: $1 Million for NYC Youth

VOTE for HMI to win $500,000!

Starting today and continuing through 6:00 am eastern standard time Friday, May 6th vote for HMI to win $500,000!

In a historic initiative, LGBTQ activist and ground-breaking artist Lady Gaga has partnered with the Robin Hood Foundation to launch an interactive contest through Facebook, of which Hetrick-Martin is a principal partner!

Lady Gaga and Robin Hood are partnering to donate $1 million between five New York City-based youth services charities. Awards will be split determined by an online vote present on Lady Gaga’s Facebook page. The group receiving the most votes will win $500,000. The winner will be revealed on May 9th at Robin Hood’s annual gala.

This contest affords Hetrick-Martin the ability to provide counseling to more LGBTQ youth and their families, clothe more homeless LGBTQ youth from our onsite Pantry, administer more free HIV tests, and serve more meals in the Café. With young people coming out earlier than ever before, the need for our unique services has increased at an unprecedented rate.
