Equality Virginia's Hampton Roads Legends Event


Once again I am serving on the steering committee for Equality Virginia's Legends Event which will be held on November 6th, 2010, at the Renaissance Hotel in Portsmouth, Virginia. Since the events inception, it has honored local individuals who have stood up for the equality of all Virginians, but especially the rights of the LGBT community. This year two good friends are the individual honorees and, for the first time, a community organization will also be honored. The organization selected to be honored is St. Mark's Episcopal Church here in Hampton, which has long been ahead of the curve in terms of supporting gay rights and the dignity of all in the community. Indeed, St. Marks is co-hosting tomorrow's Diversity and Pride event in downtown Hampton - the city's first ever Pride event. I encourage local readers to consider attending. Better yet, be a sponsor or get involved with the committee. Here are more details on the event:
*
The EV Legends Event is Hampton Roads Premiere Black-Tie gathering for the LGBT community and their supporters. Each year, this event attracts several hundred guests and is promoted throughout the entire community. Your 2010 sponsorship will ensure that your business is promoted to LGBT and LGBT supporters throughout Hampton Roads. Being a dinner sponsor is a great way to contribute to today’s important and historical movement towards equality, while opening the doors of your business to the large and loyal audience of LGBT and LGBT-friendly patrons.

P. S. Another way to become involved is to host a house party. Throughout the summer and fall, EV will be sponsoring a series of house and community parties in Hampton Roads. Our house parties are fun and educational and are a great way to find out what EV is doing and bring awareness to your friends and family at the parties.
