Lightbulb at the end of the tunnel

On June 28, Camp Lightbulb hosted a special virtual fundraising event with drag queens and celebrity guests to raise money in support of Camp Lightbulb's mission to create magical experiences for LGBTQ youth to connect and build community. The event was a huge success and raised over $32,000!

CAMPER REMY described Camp Lightbulb's impact on their life, and we enjoyed CONVERSATIONS WITH CREATORS, which was a special interview with artists who use their craft to shine a light on the LGBTQ community.

EIGHTY PERCENT of LGBTQ youth experience severe isolation, and the current pandemic has only thrown fuel to the fire. Camp Lightbulb acts as an antidote by connecting queer youth with role models and each other. Your support and generosity helped us withstand the pandemic and continue delivering transformative programming.
