Join us at Lovestruck Books & Cafe for an evening of community, connection, and action in support of Transhealth, the only independent nonprofit healthcare organization in the U.S. solely devoted to serving trans and gender-diverse people.
As access to gender-affirming care for trans youth faces growing threats, Transhealth is preparing to serve more young people and families who need a safe, affirming place to turn.
We’ll gather in the cozy spirit of our bookstore for conversation, queer and trans literature, lite bites, specialty sips, and opportunities to directly support Transhealth’s work.
Mix, mingle and shop a curated selection of LGBTQIA+ reads or purchase books to be donated to trans youth groups and family support circles. Come raise a glass, find a good book, meet your community, and help make sure trans people, especially trans youth, can continue to get the care they need and deserve!
100% of ticket sales, silent auction sales, and proceeds from the cash bar will go to Transhealth. Lovestruck Books & Cafe will match additional donations made at the event up to $5,000. We appreciate your support and look forward to celebrating with you!
