This past weekend the Human Rights Campaign raised awareness and money for LGBT Equality. The evening started with an invigorating performance by UpBeat, a local drum and step group. Dinner Co-chairs Chris Boone and Andy Swanson kicked off the night by thanking all attendees, speakers and supporters on behalf of themselves and the other dinner Co-chairs Kevin Moser, Josh Nelson and Todd Landis. It was a night full of laughs which started with MC, lesbian Comedian Dana Goldberg and Featured Speaker Kathy Nijimy.
Also presented on Saturday night was an equality award to co-founder of Join the Impact, Amy Balliet. By the end of the night people were off their chairs as HRC partnering with Washington Families Standing Together raised an amazing $71,000.00 to Approve Referendum 71.
