Washington, DC - DC's LGBTQ+ athletes and sporting community play a critical philanthropic role supporting queer service providers like the Wanda Alston Foundation. 

Thanks to their generosity, they've raised thousands of dollars to house and support queer & trans homeless youth this year! For example, DC Front Runners - a longtime partner - has donated nearly $100,000 over the years!

Date: Monday, November 17th 
Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
