The Jackson High School GSA needs help funding its second annual Peace Prom.
The Peace Prom allows LGBT youth to attend a prom without harassment from their teachers or peers. More than one hundred teens, some from as far as Detroit, attended the prom last year.
"It was really good to see so many people who were willing to come and be open," said Cylor Fagan, president of the GSA. Cylor started the prom last year after he and his partner were verbally harassed by other students at a homecoming dance.
Fagan is planning the prom for the end of March, but only if the GSA gets the $400 it needs.
If you'd like to help, write a check to the Jackson High School GSA and send it to Between the Lines, which will send the money to Fagan. The address for Between the Lines is: 11920 Farmington Road, Livonia, MI 48105.
