** Pride is a journey, Friend.
------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to caring people like you, no matter where someone is on that journey we support them. We’re here 24/7/365.
During Pride, Trevor’s work is especially crucial for LGBTQ young people who don’t have a supportive community. To some, it can feel like the whole world is celebrating while they struggle. That’s why historically the number of young people reaching out to us increases every June. If you feel like this, please know we are always here for you.
Everyone’s story is different. Pride can mean out and proud, questioning, or just beginning the journey. This year, we’re sharing “Stories of Pride” real stories of strength, resilience, and connection from LGBTQ young people.

** lululemon Proudly Supports The Trevor Project
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
In 2021, lululemon launched the Centre for Social Impact with a goal of providing wellbeing tools to 10 million people by 2025. As we celebrate Pride across the world, lululemon is working with The Trevor Project and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) ([link removed]) to shine a light on the mental health disparities faced by LGBTQ youth and support life-saving crisis intervention services.
lululemon has committed an additional $1 million USD, raising their total investment to $3 million USD over the past two years, to support The Trevor Project and NAMI efforts in support of the national rollout of a 9-8-8 number for mental health crisis and suicide prevention services in the US. We know that LGBTQ youth are more likely to attempt suicide than the general population, which makes this Pride season critical in continuing to raise awareness and help tackle this important issue together.
