Celebrate the Oscars with us, support our LGBTQ & HIV prevention work in Napa County!

Academy of Friends is celebrating its 35th Oscar night anniversary with "A Century of Radiance" gala in San Francisco and we are thrilled to have had our very own LGBTQ Connection chosen for a second year in a row to be a beneficiary.
