One Hour Swim Fundraiser

Dear friends and family,

This February, I’ll be participating in a one hour charity swim with my LGBT masters swim club, Team New York Aquatics on behalf of two great organizations:

1. The Alliance for Positive Change, formerly the AIDS Service Center NYC, helps New Yorkers living with HIV and other chronic health conditions get the medical care, peer support, and housing assistance they need to achieve health, happiness, and stability.

2. The New York LGBT Bar Association provides free legal services to more than 1,000 low-income and vulnerable LGBTQ+ New Yorkers annually, with clients ranging from homeless youth to senior citizens on issues including housing, employment, discrimination, family law, and more.

 I’d be honored and grateful if you donate! We’re striving to surpass the more than $15,000 we raised last year, and I’m hoping you’ll consider making a tax-deductible donation. We accept donations of any amount, and I’ll be grateful for whatever level of support feels right for you. To inspire more giving, JetBlue has donated two round-trip tickets between any two destinations it serves, available for use one to two months after my swim. For every $50 you donate, you and I both get a ticket in a raffle for two round-trip tickets on JetBlue!

Thank you for your support! I know there are a lot of worthy causes, and I deeply appreciate your contributions to these deserving causes.
