On June 10th, 2023, we will be hosting our 12th Annual “Women’s Pride in The Pines'' fundraiser. This year, we are thrilled to announce that our event will be benefiting the Ali Forney Center. AFC is the nation’s largest non-profit providing food, shelter and healthcare services to LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in New York City. The agency assists over 2,000 youths per year through their 24-hour Drop-In Center which provides over 70,000 meals annually, medical and mental health services through an on-site clinic and a scattered-site housing program.
