Since 1980, The Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Youth (BAGLY) has served as a resource and community for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning youth and their peer allies. Today, the organization provides support services, educates about queer history, and serves as a center for activism.
BAGLY pioneered the LGBTQ youth prom, an annual event that began in 1981, and currently hosts 1,000 young guests each year at Boston City Hall. The prom is the culminating event of the weeklong Boston Youth Pride festivities in May. Revelers will get to enjoy DJs and performances, a crowning of the prom’s king and queen, and a youth-led health fair that will provide confidential HIV and STI screenings and safe sex packets. Each safe sex packet contains three condoms (including one internal condom), lubrication, and cards that provide information about health topics such as intimate partner violence and smoking cessation.
Join G-Team to help BAGLY provide young people attending the prom with resources to help them make informed health decisions. Each $12 donation from a G-Team member will provide one youth attending BAGLY’s prom with a free, anonymous health screening, including a rapid HIV/AIDS test, and a safe-sex packet. All donors who register online will be entered into a raffle to win one of several prizes, including two movie passes to any theater or an iPod Nano.
Unlike traditional Groupon deals, G-Team campaigns typically don't offer you a "discount" or "savings." So "buyer" beware—when you click "Buy" to donate your time or money to a worthwhile G-Team cause, the only discount you may receive is 100% off free, priceless karma. Read more about G-Team.
