Notable Moments: The sold-out event also served as a joyous celebration of the 30th anniversary of one·n·ten and their constant dedication to LGBTQ+ youth. The brunch fashions were fierce as supporters raised an incredible $1.2 million during the call to give back. This touching tribute by Peach best illustrates what the organization means to the youth of our community: “I have been very fortunate for the past seven years to call one·n·ten my family. From participating in workshops and attending Camp Outdoors, I have accumulated skills and realized what I lacked. That changed me into the person I didn’t know I could be without my family.”
