Event Description:
Join us for an unforgettable Evening with Elliot Page: Fireside Chat and Birthday Benefit on Sunday, May 5th, at 7:30pm at the Academy of Music in Northampton, MA. Celebrate and support Transhealth's mission of expanding access to gender-affirming care with a powerful fireside chat that illuminates the power of hope, the warmth of joy, and the courage required to live authentically.
Let us celebrate, enjoy each other’s company, make a wish, and blow out the candles as we burst with pride and intention into our fourth year of providing life-saving care and community. Our birthday wish? For all trans and gender-diverse people to have the freedom to be their authentic selves and to have access to the compassionate, comprehensive healthcare they deserve.
Can’t make it in-person, but still want to support? Make a gift in honor of our birthday. Your gift, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.
In our conversation with Elliot Page, we'll explore his personal journey and delve into the challenges he's faced, the milestones he's celebrated, and the lessons he's learned along the way, offering a unique lens through which we can examine the struggles and triumphs of the trans community and the transformative impact of compassionate, comprehensive gender-affirming care. This event is an opportunity to reflect on how personal narratives like Elliot's contribute to our collective understanding, strengthen community, and inspire advocacy, driving us forward in our quest for a more inclusive and supportive world.
