Dear friends,

It's hard to believe that we've been fighting for justice in the case of
Rashawn Brazell for three years now. But the facts cannot lie: It's been three
full years since 19 year-old Rashawn's dismembered body parts were found strewn
though Brooklyn's subways. And three years later, the murder that America's
Most Wanted has called one of the most gruesome in New York's history remains
unsolved.

Luckily, there's good news. Since the inception of the Rashawn Brazell Memorial
Scholarship in 2005, we've been blessed to have people like you in our corner
pledging time, resources, sympathy and support for our ongoing fight against
racism, homophobia and hate violence. This year, we are elated to have the
opportunity to thank each of your for the myriad ways in which you've made it
possible to offer a sustainable tribute to Rashawn's memory. To this end, we
hope that you'll join us at our awards dinner on May 22nd. Because the
evening's purpose is to show our gratitude for the unwavering support of
community members like you, it simply wouldn't be complete without... you!

Hosted at the LGBT Center in
Manhattan, this year’s Brighter Days celebration will honor New York City
Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Council Member Letitia James and the Audre
Lorde Project's SOS Collective for their
respective efforts to end violence against LGBT people of color in our
community. Additionally, we'll be recognizing the network of bloggers,
activists, artists and scholars who have made invaluable contributions to our
work throughout the years.

So, click here to RSVP today and let us show you
our appreciation!
