The Plymouth-based organization Fair Michigan is gearing up for a fundraising dinner in order to maintain its advocacy for LGBTQ issues. On Feb. 7, Emmy Award-winning Fox 2 News Anchor Amy Lange will accompany Michigan Radio reporter Jack Lessenberry to the Fair Michigan Justice Project Dinner.
The Justice Project is a collaboration between Fair Michigan and the Waynce County Prosecutor's Office in an effort to focus on the the homicides and capital offences committed against LGBTQ people. The effort is exclusively funded by Fair Michigan, and has so far had a 100 percent conviction rate.
At the dinner, Fair Michigan will award Champions of Justice Awards to people involved in the project, as well as provide updates on Fair Michigan's progress. A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available starting at $60 for benefactors, ranging to $500 for table sponsors.
More information about the fundraising dinner can be found online at fairmichigan.org/JusticeDinner/. The event will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 7 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Burton Manor 27777 Schoolcraft Road, Livonia.
