Thank you for joining us on April 12, 2024 at the AC Hotel by Marriot Worcester! Stay tuned for the 2025 date.

The annual Safe Homes Gala and People of Courage Awards raises money for the Safe Homes program, an LGBTQIA+ drop-in serving youth ages 14-23 in Worcester, Fitchburg and online via Discord.

The People of Courage Awards honors passionate and dedicated individuals and businesses making a difference in the Central Massachusetts community.

The 2024 Gala recognized the milestone of 20 years since same-sex marriage was first legally recognized in Massachusetts.
