Benton Harbor-
The OutCenter of Benton Harbor will host a golf and dinner event at Harbor Shores on June 17. Proceeds from the event will support the OutCenter in its vision of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all Southwest Michigan residents, including the LGBT and allied communities.
Tickets are still available to the landmark OutOuting event, featuring an 18-hole golf outing followed by a tent event with live entertainment, local cuisine and a silent auction. Visit http://www.outouting.com for more information.
The OutCenter plans to use funds raised from the event to continue services such as its adult support group and diversity trainings, to provide cultural events such as OutFilm and Lake Effect Pride and to increase youth support initiatives for high school-age students who identify as LGBT or ally.
"When we provide a safe and nurturing environment for our younger generations, we are one step closer to achieving real change," said Jen Hsu, executive director of the OutCenter.
The mission of the OutCenter is to provide support to LGBT and allied persons and families, and to advocate for greater understanding and respect throughout Berrien County. Located at 132 Water St. in Benton Harbor, the OutCenter is open Wednesday to Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information or to become a volunteer, please visit http://www.outcenter.org, call 269-925-8330 or email inquiries to [email protected].
