Friend,

I want to be sure you saw the email below from The Trevor Project's Founder and CEO, Peggy Rajski.

This Pride we are asking you and the entire Trevor community to come together and show your Pride in Action by making a gift today in support of the work Trevor does to end suicide among LGBTQ+ young people. 

Friend, let’s show LGBTQ+ young people that we’re here for them. 

Please make your gift before midnight while the 3X match is still available. Every $1 you contribute becomes $4.

With gratitude and in community,

Joanne

P.S. If you have already given this month and your gift has crossed paths with this email, thank you for supporting Trevor and LGBTQ+ young people! If you haven’t, please give today while matching funds will quadruple your contribution.

Subject: Friend, Pride is Here! 🌈 Quadruple Your Impact

Happy Pride, Friend!

As we come together to celebrate Pride, I want to thank you for supporting The Trevor Project. You’re part of a fierce and dedicated community that allows our organization to provide best-in-class, life-saving services for LGBTQ+ young people 24/7/365. You and our whole Trevor community demonstrate what Pride truly means.

Twenty-six years ago, after the success of “TREVOR” — an Oscar-winning short film I directed about a 13-year-old boy whose world turns upside down when word spreads that he’s gay — I discovered there were no 24/7 crisis lines available to serve the unique needs of at-risk LGBTQ+ young people. That weighed on me. So, when the opportunity for a nationwide airing of "TREVOR" appeared, I recruited a well-respected crisis intervention expert to help set up a TREVOR helpline, train its counselors, and with the able help of my fellow “TREVOR” collaborators, producer Randy Stone and screenwriter Celeste Lecesne, The Trevor Project was born.

More than 1,500 calls came in that first night “TREVOR” aired. We haven’t stopped since. And as long as LGBTQ+ young people need our support, we never will. 

Friend, I'm calling on you today to help ensure that our crisis counselors are always a call, chat, or text away from LGBTQ+ young people who are feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed. Your gift today will help Trevor keep that promise.

Thanks to the generosity of several Trevor supporters, your gift will be matched 3X today.* Every $1 you give will be matched three times — quadrupling your impact. That means a gift of $25 becomes $100, $50 becomes $200, and on and on and on.

I hope we can count on you to be the one to show your pride in action with a life-saving contribution today — your gift will go 4x as far.

That’s why “Pride in Action” is Trevor’s theme this Pride. Building a world where LGBTQ+ young people see a bright future for themselves will take all of us, but change starts with one person being a visible ally and supporter.

Make your Pride in Action gift today when every $1 you donate becomes $4 to help save young LGBTQ+ lives.

Thank you for your allyship and generous action today!

In community and service,

Peggy Rajski

*Until 11:59 PM PT, Monday, June 3, 2024, a generous group of donors will match all online gifts up to $300,000, 3:1.
