Forward this message to a friend | August 30, 2017 Dear Friend, What's the word, hummingbird? I am very pleased to announce our venture with the City & County of San Francisco, a brand new Navigation Center for our homeless citizens: The Hummingbird Psychiatric Respite Navigation Center. The center will be housed at San Francisco General Hospital and will offer four overnight beds starting today and an additional eleven beds in December. All of this is in an effort to create a safe space for an individual to be thoughtful and contemplative about what their next steps are, and to be able to consider all of that in a clean, safe environment. I do hope you'll join us next month at our 30TH anniversary gala, Mighty Real, to help us celebrate this monumental achievement! Tickets are now on sale, please see below for more information. On behalf of all of us at Positive Resource Center, thank you for your continued support!

Funder Spotlight: GRGR Foundation “Grass Roots” refers to how the GRGR Foundation raises resources, which is primarily from the work of volunteers who organize their events and from the ‘Circle of Friends’ who host, buy tickets and attend events. Grass Roots also refer to what they look for in beneficiaries, meaning the ability to create measurable local positive social impact for the diverse populations that make up San Francisco’s LGBT community. PRC spoke with GRGR Foundation to get their insight about community commitment and philanthropic responsibility. One of our featured questions is in regards to their enduring dedication to the production of REAL BAD. PRC: REAL BAD and the GRGR Foundation have a longstanding history of bringing together the GLBT community. For how many years has it been going on? And, how do you try to keep long-standing traditions alive? REAL BAD began as a house party thrown by a group of friends in 1989 and has been an annual event ever since. In 1991 it transformed into a fundraising dance party which continued to expand its circles of friends and began its long history of benefiting a community in need while coming together in celebration. The REAL BAD party is not a static event. Each year we strive to surprise and delight our friends with new DJ’s, new looks, new lights, new features, but at the core we stay true to the reason we are there: BE BAD… DO GOOD! The Grass Roots Gay Rights Foundation was established in 2004 as a 501(c)(3) non profit organization to ensure our longevity and expand our capacity to do more for our community. Read the full Q & A with GRGR Foundation here. Volunteers Needed for Folsom Street Fair Weekend! We are extremely excited to be major beneficiaries for both the Folsom Street Fair and the REAL BAD party, both taking place on Sunday, September 24!
