Updates from The NYC LGBT Community Center
| | | | | | | Women's Event highlights the achievements of LGBTQ+ and allied women who have made significant contributions to their industries and the LGBTQ+ community, and also raises critical funds to support The Center’s essential programs and services. This year’s honorees reflect leadership in sports and healthcare, with a shared commitment to LGBTQ+ advocacy and inclusion.
Keia Clarke, CEO of the New York Liberty, will accept the Community Ally Award on behalf of the New York Liberty, for their commitment to elevating diversity and inclusion in athletics and for their commitment to safe and affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ women athletes.
The Center will also recognize Dr. Renee Mclaughlin, National Medical Director at Cigna Healthcare, for her work in promoting health equity and improving
healthcare access for the LGBTQ+ population and for being a pioneer for transgender women in the healthcare sector/impactful leadership roles. She will receive the Visibility Award.
Tickets are on sale now and include a premium cocktail hour, dinner, after party with open bar, and the awards program! | | | | |

| | | | It’s National Estate Planning Awareness Week!
The Center believes in supporting the economic empowerment of LGBTQ+ people, and that includes offering the resources you need to create a safety-net for you and your loved ones. During National Estate Planning Awareness Week, we’re honored to provide you free access to Giving Docs, an online platform to write your will! It’s easy, safe, and secure. As you create your estate plan, think about the causes that matter to you. Many thoughtful supporters included a bequest to The Center in their will (leaving a gift to The Center is voluntary and not required in order to use Giving Docs). We hope you take advantage of your free access to create your estate plan!
