Holiday Event Makes History

To quote Alex Haley, “History is written by the winners”.  On December 10, 2009, Indiana Equality and its supporters made history with its second annual fundraising event, Holiday IN the Old Northside.  The event reached two distinctive milestone’s for IE.  It was the largest fundraising event in both the number of attendees and dollars raised! 

The funds raised will help IE continue our campaign for fairness, equality and inclusion for LGBT Hoosiers.  Many thanks to our event sponsors, those who donated items, our wonderful volunteers, those who made contributions and the over 300 supporters who braved the frigid temperatures to support equality.  THANK YOU!

So, you were unable to attend? No worries, you can still be a part of history by contributing on our website at www.indianaequality.org!

We hope that you will continue your commitment to IE as we move into 2010.  We have set forth an ambitious agenda in the coming year. 

·    Our Human Rights Ordinance Project enters its second year assisting local communities in their push for equality.

·    We will continue to engage the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community and our allies through pride events, workshops and training sessions.

·    Through our sister organization, IE Action, we will continue to monitor legislation in the Statehouse and push for full civil rights protections for all Hoosiers.

·    We will continue to work with our partners and allies in our advocacy and community mobilization efforts.

Here are some ways you can further help IE in the coming year:

·    Consider making another tax-deductible donation in 2009 using the enclosed envelope or at www.indianaequality.org.  Check with your employer for any matching gifts that may be available.

·    Sign up to host a house party.  This is a great way to engage your family, friends and neighbors and raise funds to support equality.  Call us at 888-567-0750 for more information.

·    Make a monthly or quarterly contribution through our reoccurring gifts program at www.indianaequality.org.
