IPN Winter Benefit set for 2-27-11

EVERY STUDENT DESERVES A SAFE SCHOOL
AND THIS IS YOUR MOMENT TO HELP

Please Join Iowa Pride Network
for
The Annual Winter Benefit for LGBT Students
& Help End Anti-Gay Bullying and Suicide

Hosted by Bob Denny
Sunday, February 27th, 7-9 p.m.
At the Clarion Inn
5826 University Ave. Cedar Falls, Iowa

Every Student Deserves a Safe School...
Unfortunately for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender 
(LGBT) students in Iowa Schools are:
- Two times more likely than their straight peers to be verbally harassed
- 84% more likely to report being physically harassed or assaulted
- 56% more likely to report that they had considered suicide

And this is your moment to help...
Join us at the Benefit and learn how you can invest in Iowa Pride Network's
programs that create safe schools and connects LGBT students to reduce isolation.

You'll enjoy wine and hors d'oeuvres and hear from our student 
members--Iowa's next generation of LGBT leaders at 8:00 p.m.

Please consider your most generous gift as all gifts are tax-deductible.
A minimum donation of $100 is suggested. (Students attend free)

To RSVP, please email Ryan Roemerman: ryan@iowapridenetwork.org
