Out On The Lakeshore is growing its League of Allies, a community of people and businesses investing in a more inclusive and connected Lakeshore. 💚 And you don't have to make a huge gift to make a real difference.

$5. $10. $25 a month.

When enough neighbors choose to show up together, those small monthly gifts create sustainable support for year-round programs, resources, community connection, Pride, and the work happening Out All Year.

If you've been looking for a simple way to support LGBTQ+ people right here in our community, this is one way to do it.

And a huge shoutout to Blue Table Flowers for donating some beautiful blooms for our Because of You gala this week!
