(4) 7th Annual GLSEN Washington State Awards Reception and Auction (May 6; Seattle, WA)
The 7th Annual GLSEN Washington State Awards Reception and Auction will be on May 6th, 2012 at the Maritime Event Center in Seattle, WA, is Washington's signature event for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth and their allies. This year, we will once again roll out the red carpet for these courageous young people and their allies who are working to stop harassment and end homophobia in Washington's K-12 schools.
However, to make this event a success, we need your help. The Washington State GSA Network, a program of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) Washington State, has several ways businesses and organizations can get involved.
In Kind Donations: Silent and live auction items are needed. A donation of products and services is a great way to get your name out there in the LGBT community while helping a nonprofit organization at the same time. The value of your contributed goods, services or financial donation will place you into one of the categories listed below.
Tickets: Tickets purchases are available through BrownPaperTickets.com (Link: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/213231).
Sponsorships: We charge youth and school staff only a fraction of the total costs of putting on the event. We need financial contributions to offset the costs for food, rental, and logistical assistance (such as hotel, travel and meals).
