DETROIT – Detroit ICON, an organization dedicated to the leather community, presented $1,000 checks on Dec. 8 to three metro Detroit LGBT-related groups: Triangle Foundation, AIDS Partnership Michigan and the Ruth Ellis Center.
The checks were presented at the Detroit Eagle in midtown Detroit during ICON's annual "XXX-Mas Party." ICON members raised the funds throughout the year during various events. More than 100 people were in attendance, including approximately a dozen people from Triangle.
"Triangle Foundation serves our entire community. We recognize that freedom of expression is an important part of our work promoting equality for GLBT people, and we greatly appreciate the leather community's support," said Kevin McAlpine, Triangle's director of development.
