ClimACTS! Guilty Pleasures
Annual Fundraiser Event
Thanks to everyone who made ClimACTS! a fabulous success. We are so grateful for our friends & supporters.
ClimACTS! Guilty Pleasures was a smashingly successful benefit for LGBT youth in True Colors, The Theater Offensive’s youth troupe. Boston’s most fabulous came out to support the LGBT community for a night filled with enthralling entertainment, dancing, and a live fantasy auction. Proceeds from the live and online auctions, Fund-a-Future campaign and ticket sales totaled over $100K for The Theater Offensive’s community-based art-activism programs.
Guest of honor “America’s Gaysian Sweetheart” Alec Mapa (“Ugly Betty,” “Desperate Housewives”) performed outrageous stand-up comedy. Alec and avant-garde artist Sharon Bridgforth received the 2012 Out on the Edge award, which honors artists who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to break boundaries for LGBT artists. Thanks to our amazing emcee Johnny Blazes & Boston’s own out and proud JBDubs of the Boston Ballet!
A portion of the proceeds from ClimACTS! will fund a second True Colors troupe to be as inclusive as possible of at-risk LGBT youth. Due to resources, True Colors’ single troop currently must reject as many youth as it accepts. The Theater Offensive targets LGBT and allied youth in Dorchester, Roxbury, Jamaica Plain and the South End.
We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of our corporate partners.
