Dear Friend,

As we celebrate Together for Trevor today on Trevor’s 27th birthday, I want to thank you for being part of The Trevor Project community.

Twenty-seven 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, provide specialized training for our counselors, and with the able help of my fellow “TREVOR” collaborators, producer Randy Stone and screenwriter Celeste Lecesne, The Trevor Project was born.

Join me in celebrating Together for Trevor Day and 27 years of life-saving work. Your gift will be matched 3x thanks to the generosity of The Atwood Family.*

More than 1,500 calls came in that first night "TREVOR" aired, and we haven't stopped since. And as long as LGBTQ+ young people need our support, we never will. Your generosity sustains our essential life-saving programs: crisis prevention and intervention services, research, advocacy against harmful legislation, TrevorSpace's community, and ally-building education.

Please give today, knowing that your impact will be 4x-multiplied.

We've made an enormous impact these past 27 years, but now more than ever, with rising challenges to LGBTQ+ young people's mental health, we need your help. Your support will help Trevor continue to have an impact.

I look forward to receiving your gift, which will be matched 3x. Your contribution is urgently needed to ensure that thousands of LGBTQ+ young people can turn to Trevor when they need us.

Thank you, in advance, for your support!

In partnership and with gratitude,

Peggy Rajski

P.S. If your special Together for Trevor Day contribution and this email have crossed paths, THANK YOU! We truly appreciate it!

*Until 11:59 PM ET, Tuesday, March 25, 2025, The Atwood Family will match all online gifts up to $100,000, 3:1.
