Hey John
We're halfway through Give OUT Day, and we still have a ways to go to hit our goal. But before I ask you one more time for a donation — one that will be matched up to $50K by our friends at e.l.f. Cosmetics through the end of the month– I want to share a story about why that donation matters.
Over the weekend, It Gets Better hosted an activation at Youth Pride in New York City. LGBTQ+ kids got to hang out for the day with their peers — dance, take photos, and at our booth, use markers and paints to work on a mural showcasing our community, created by the talented artist Sam Kirk.
One kid stared at the mural for a while trying to figure out what part to paint. Finally, they picked up a big, green marker and asked, "Can I fill in the It Gets Better shirt?" I asked why that part. Their answer was simple: "Because it will."
The world can be scary, especially for LGBTQ+ youth. But with community and resources, support and understanding, it can also be filled with hope. Uplifting and empowering kids makes it possible for them to see a tomorrow that is filled with potential. That's what your donation to It Gets Better supports.
Can we count on your support?
