We were thrilled to present scholarship awards to four exceptional young leaders: Derek Demeri, Layne Gianakos, Nicholas Gumas and Michael Torres.
This landmark occasion also honored four extraordinary role models in our community: InStyle Magazine Fashion Director Hal Rubenstein, Broadway Producer Daryl Roth with Daryl Roth Productions, New York Times Advertising Columnist Stuart Elliott, and esteemed fashion designer Ralph Rucci of Chado Ralph Rucci.
Their continuing support has not only helped us to sustain Live Out Loud’s mission but also allowed us to further our impact each year.
A special thank you to our special guest host Michael Urie, our sponsors, board members and all the volunteers who helped make this event such a success.
Live Out Loud would like to thank our host The New York Times Company GLBT & Allies Network and the following sponsors, donors, journal ad donors, silent auction contributors and artists for making our 10th Anniversary Young Trailblazers Gala a huge success.
