Presents

Dare2Care – Unite Against Bullying

HRC Fashion and Performance Gala - May 1, 2011

Dear Potential Supporter:

All bullying is reprehensible. Like hate crimes, pervasive bullying sends a message to youngpeople that just because of who they are, they are not welcomed. Bullying rends at the fabric of our society and can fragment communities. To unite against bullying and the hate that fuels it,we must, as a community, be committed to a zero tolerance message.

Fashion Gala: The Cleveland HRC Steering Committee is hosting an eveningof fashion and performance art designed to spread a zero tolerance message andunite our community against bullying. In the past year alone 85% of LGBT youthreport being victims of some form of verbal harassment or bullying in their school
