Over $40,000 was raised at a sold-out event to support OUT MetroWest. The fundraiser, which sold out and raised, has earmarked these funds for the following initiative:“Our plans for the future include the creation of a program for LGBTQ middle school youth, the first and only such program in the State of Massachusetts. We have been able to provide a safe haven for high school students; but we know that youth are ‘coming out’ at younger and younger ages, and most students in grades 6-8 have little or no support as they struggle with their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. OUT MetroWest is committed to reaching out to these youth in the months ahead,” said Executive Director Jack Patrick Lewis.
