Join us as we gather in community to celebrate 36 years of supporting LGBTQ+ survivors. This year we will kick off Pride Month with the launch of our virtual silent auction on June 1. Bid online through June 26 and then join us at the Armory for Paint the Town (La) Red where you can make your final bids, see items only available in person, and take your winnings home at the end of the night! As always, we will have delicious food, great music, and good vibes.
*This is a mask-required, substance free event.*

Every year, TNLR hosts its annual fundraiser, Paint the Town (La) Red, where we raise funds to make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ survivors. Thanks to our generous donors, support is just one phone call away.

$250 covers hotline expenses for 1 month so when a survivor reaches out to talk about their relationship, we’re here 24 hours a day to answer their call. Make a contribution.
Volunteer
Our community members make this event possible! As a volunteer, you will support with set up and break down, ushering, checking tickets and proof of vaccination, etc. No training required! Donating your time is just as valuable as money, and our volunteers are vital to the mission of TNLR. Email grassrootsfund@tnlr.org for more information.
