    Christopher's Center Connection
    Christopher MillsOur sincere thanks to Cox Communications and Macy's for supporting The Center's Hillcrest Youth Center (HYC). A $3,000 grant from Macy's will support the expansionof healthy relationship education at the HYC, while a generous $2,500 gift from Cox Communications will be used to enhance HYC's cyber center. Since July 2000, HYC has offered programming for over 3000 LGBT youth ages 14 to18. We are fortunate to have great corporate sponsors like Macy's and Cox Communications whose generous support makes our work with San Diego's LGBT youth possible!

    A Fabulous Menu of Giving Opportunities!

    No matter what strikes your passion and heart most deeply -- youth, seniors, families, housing, equality work --  there are a menu of giving opportunities to help support the 50,000 service visits for LGBT San Diegans that we provide every year!

    Every dollar you can give helps to support the services, projects and programs that make a difference for so many in the LGBT San Diego community. You don't have to give thousands to make a difference in lives. Give what you can and together we can all keep making a difference! Thank you so much for your generosity and for all you do!
