We are just a few months away from our annual Living Out Loud Gala, an exciting night of love and celebration supporting Stepping Stone of San Diego. For over 46 years, we have provided drug and alcohol treatment services with a focus on our San Diego LGBTQ+ community. Pink is Back for this year’s theme and an incredible night of entertainment will feature RuPaul’s Drag Race royalty Raven and Pandora Boxx along with other San Diego legends Mariam T, Maya Gitterzone, MC’d by Glitz Glam, and many more!
During the challenging times of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Stepping Stone’s open doors were essential to those challenged by addiction and mental health issues. Our annual fundraiser is vital to maintaining commitment of our core mission; To create, improve and deliver alcohol and other drug treatment, HIV and other health interventions, recovery, education and prevention services specializing in the challenges of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities of the San Diego region.
As we plan our event for Friday, October 14th, 2022, we would like to invite you to partner with us as a special event sponsor. In addition to contributing to our programs and services, your donation will also allow us to show our gratitude to our Executive Director, Cheryl Houk. Her retirement will be honored at the event and with a special tile dedication ceremony.
We look forward to you joining us for #PINKGala2022 and celebrating our mission, community of staff, alumni, and volunteers. Together we can assure that Stepping Stone will continue providing long-term residential recovery, outpatient treatment, aftercare services, sober living homes, harm reduction, and other life-saving resources allowing us to meet people where they are.
