LGBT Center May Day Event
04/30/2020
We are very excited to announce that this Friday, May 1, The Greater Dayton LGBT Center is partnering with CenterLink to present “May Day Home Stay Gay Play: The 20th Anniversary of QAF Cast & Crew Reunion Event to Raise funds for CenterLink - The Community of LGBTQ+ Centers”. We’ll also raise important funds for CenterLink and its network of over 250 local community centers in the U.S. and around the world. A portion of the money raised will go directly to the Greater Dayton LGBT Center.
The event will take place LIVE on Friday, May 1st, at 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET on YouTube:

Scott Lowell, who played Ted, will host the event that will feature actors Sharon Gless, Peter Paige, Michelle Clunie, Hal Sparks, Randy Harrison and Robert Gant, alongside creators Ron Cowen and Dan Lipman. Other names are expected to be announced shortly. In addition to chats and special conversations with the cast about the ground-breaking Showtime show, fans who tune in will have the opportunity to bid on Queer as Folk memorabilia and donate funds to support CenterLink and its network of over 250 LGBTQ community centers.
As you know, LGBTQ community centers, including The Greater Dayton LGBT Center serve as safe spaces for over 2 million people each year. During the epidemic, LGBTQ community centers are still providing critical services such as medical care, mental health counseling, virtual support groups, providing hot meals and check-in phone calls for older adults, serving youth and homeless youth, distributing nonperishable food items and hygiene products, HIV testing, and hosting virtual engagement activities to decrease social isolation. Given the current financial crisis and loss of revenue, LGBT community centers like ours could be forced to shrink our services, meaning hundreds of LGBTQ people could go without care.
We hope you will tune in to support The Greater Dayton LGBT Center and our partnering LGBTQ+ community centers across the US.
