Dear Lucas,
We are writing to ask for your support for Callen-Lorde Community Health Center and hope that you will attend the Community Health Awards on November 16th.
This year, we will be honoring:
Antonio E. Urbina, M.D.
Medical Director of HIV/AIDS Education and Training at
Saint Vincent's Comprehensive HIV Center
The Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus
of the United States House of Representatives, and
The New York State Health Foundation
for its efforts to improve the healthcare available to New Yorkers.
Each is an outstanding leader who has had a dramatic impact on the health and well-being of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities and we are so proud to recognize their work.
We are living in momentous times and there are huge changes happening on the national stage, in state legislatures and in localities that have the potential to dramatically improve the quality of life for LGBT people. We hope that you will remember that each day for 40 years, Callen-Lorde has provided quality, respectful and dignified healthcare to all who seek our services, regardless of their ability to pay. For this reason, we are proud to support this organization that has quite literally been a life-saver for thousands and thousands of LGBT New Yorkers and people living with HIV . . . many of whom had nowhere else to turn.
Please mark the date in your calendar now and purchase a ticket to the event or make a donation to Callen-Lorde is you are unable to attend.
