Greater Erie Alliance for Equality (GEAE) 8th Annual Afternoon for Equality a Success, Awards Scholarships

from Greater Erie Alliance for Equality

Greater Erie Alliance for Equality (GEAE) wishes to thank our generous supporters and the 80 guests that attended the 8th Annual Afternoon for Equality, held on June 10, 2018 at 21 La Rue Dix, 21 W 10th St, Erie PA. Afternoon for Equality (AFE) is our largest annual fundraiser and it was a great success! Record attendance from the LGBT community and allies signifies strong support from the Erie community. Support raised at AFE provides funds to continue GEAE’s mission in Erie which is to support the LGBT community and its straight allies through educational programs, social events and opportunities for service. $3,000 in scholarship money was awarded to LGBT high school students for continuing their educations. In addition to the regular award, an additional scholarship was added, named the Tanner-Cipolla Award for an LGBTQ student focusing their studies in social services, education, art, music, or social studies. This was the 2nd year GEAE offered a scholarship. GEAE is delighted to have several students apply again this year and hopes to continue this recognition program for our youth.

Tyler Titus was featured as our guest speaker and Stephen Trohoske Trio provided entertainment, with special guest Edward Randazzo. Save the date and join us next year, 2019 AFE is on June 9th!
