The Just As I Am Foundation will make its
West Coast debut on May 4, 2007, since its organization debut on January 12, 2007,
in Atlanta, Georgia. Since Just As I Am is a national and select Caribbean
nations organization, its goal is to introduce itself to the community and raise
funds for its operations. The Just As I Am Foundation is a resource, support,
and advocacy organization for the African-American Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, and
Transgender community to provide information on subjects of importance, to
provide support to individuals and community projects, and to be the voice for
the African-American Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, and Transgender community on
issues confronting a lifestyle of equality. Promoting unity between the
African-American Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, and Transgender community and the
general public, community organizations, government, and business is the
ultimate goal of the Foundation.
The event will be sponsored
by Ebony Pyramid Entertainment at
The Lucy Florence Cultural
Center in Los Angeles, California from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. There will
be a Wine Tasting and Meet and Greet from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. The reception
will feature a light fare and limited open bar. The minimum donation for the event is $25 per person. The reception
will allow other BLGBT organizations to network and will allow them to give
attendees a brief about their organization. A silent auction will also take
place with items up for bid as a cruise for two on the 8th Annual
Black Gay & Lesbian Pride: Caribbean Cruisin’ – Nassau and Paradise Island,
Bahamas. You must be a paid guest to bid on items. Just As I Am reception
organizers will be accepting donation items to place on the auction list through
April 30, 2007. Prior to the reception, auction items will be listed online,
with their minimum bids. As a new start-up foundation, Just As I Am needs all
the support and assistance the BLGBT community can provide to help meet its mission.
