This free event will include a brief program with personal remarks from Point Scholar Yanery.

Complimentary cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres will be served. While this is a free event, there will be a call for support. The suggested attire is business casual. 

Date: Monday, Nov. 9.
Time: 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Location: SECOND, 849 Avenue of the Americas, New York City.
Registration is required. RSVP below and note if you’re attending as a guest of one of our Host Committee members.

 

 

Ways to Celebrate LGBTQ+ and Ally Scholars
