Stride with Me and Ruth to Support LGBTQ+ Youth

Hi friends,

This Pride season, I’m doing more than celebrating—I’m taking action. I’ve launched a Stride for Pride fundraiser in support of Ruth Ellis Center, a Detroit-based nonprofit that provides stable housing, affirming health care, and holistic support for LGBTQ+ youth.

Many of these young people are school-aged and facing a dangerous mix of anti-LGBTQ+ policies and day-to-day instability. Ruth Ellis Center is a critical lifeline—and I want to help strengthen it.

Every dollar helps fund permanent housing, mental and physical health care, and essential services for youth who deserve safety, joy, and dignity.

If you can give, I’d be incredibly grateful. If you can share this with others, even better. Together, we can build a stronger safety net for LGBTQ+ youth—not just during Pride, but year-round.

Hi [Donor Name],

Thank you so much for your generous donation to my Stride for Pride campaign for Ruth Ellis Center! Your support means the world to me—and even more to the LGBTQ+ youth who will benefit from it.

Because of you, we’re helping provide stable housing, food access, and affirming care to young people navigating a world that too often tries to dim their light. You’re not just helping me reach a fundraising goal—you’re investing in a future where LGBTQ+ youth are safe, seen, and supported.

I’m so proud to be part of this movement, and I’m grateful to be doing it with you.

Thanks again for being part of this,
