As part of the expanded Community Partnership role FSIX will play in 2010, FSIX is pleased to support the first ever LGBT Relay for Life, benefiting the American Cancer Society. The event is scheduled for September 25, 2010 in New York, and will be preceded by a series of events and kickoffs, the first of which is on January 27, 2010 at Vlada. Appetizers, information, drink specials and the spirit of giving and fighting back!
FSIX has a growing tradition of supporting the work of community partners such as Project Angel Food and The Trevor Project in LA, and Fashion Forward for GMHC in New York. In planning this event specifically for LGBT people and our allies, American Cancer Society is breaking new ground, and deserves our full support. In aiding the fight against cancer, the first LGBT Relay for Life provides an opportunity for greater visibility in Financial Services, in support of a cause that touches everyone.
Please make an individual pledge for $10 or $20 at http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY10EA?pg=team&fr_id=25541&team_id=599140 or consider forming a team at your firm, or joining the FSIX team! Both LGBT and straight allies welcome. Cancer must be stopped. |
