\u00bfQu\u00e9 te trajo a SMYAL?<\/strong><\/h4>\nFui por primera vez al SMYAL Brunch con mi futuro esposo, Dale Curtis, hace unos cinco o seis a\u00f1os. Toda mi carrera hasta ese momento hab\u00eda consistido en trabajar con j\u00f3venes durante m\u00e1s de 16 a\u00f1os, y realmente me inspir\u00f3 ver una organizaci\u00f3n que trabajaba con j\u00f3venes LGBTQ y los ayudaba a prosperar y prosperar. Todos en la organizaci\u00f3n fueron acogedores y divertirse fue parte del paquete.<\/p>\n
\u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa con la organizaci\u00f3n que lo inspir\u00f3 a convertirse en un donante importante y participar en el Comit\u00e9 de Brunch?<\/b><\/h4>\n
Realmente disfruto ver el impacto positivo que tienen los d\u00f3lares, como el programa de Vivienda para J\u00f3venes, Little SMYAL y sus microsubvenciones, que patrocinar\u00e1n 20 proyectos inspirados en j\u00f3venes. Eso me hace querer recaudar m\u00e1s dinero para que SMYAL pueda hacer a\u00fan m\u00e1s bien en la comunidad.<\/p>\n
\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es importante el Brunch Anual para nuestra comunidad? \u00bfCu\u00e1les son algunos de tus recuerdos favoritos y qu\u00e9 esperas este a\u00f1o?<\/b><\/h4>\n
El SMYAL Brunch re\u00fane a cientos de partidarios, defensores y aliados locales para hablar sobre las necesidades de nuestros j\u00f3venes LGBTQ locales y todos los programas que SMYAL ofrece para ayudarlos. Lo m\u00e1s importante es que nos brinda la oportunidad de escuchar de primera mano de los participantes del programa c\u00f3mo nuestro trabajo cambi\u00f3 sus vidas.<\/p>\n
Uno de mis recuerdos favoritos del SMYAL Brunch fue cuando Mary nos cont\u00f3 lo agradecida que estaba de tener un tel\u00e9fono celular a trav\u00e9s de SMYAL, y sin \u00e9l no habr\u00eda podido mantenerse en contacto con los miembros de su familia que la apoyaban. Nunca olvidar\u00e9 cuando Demontre cant\u00f3 \u201cCreo que los ni\u00f1os son el futuro\u201d, que siempre ha sido una de mis canciones favoritas. Fue muy conmovedor.<\/p>\n
Estoy entusiasmado con nuestro primer brunch virtual el 11 de octubre y con poder involucrar no solo a nuestros \u201cfieles\u201d sino tambi\u00e9n a muchas m\u00e1s personas que tal vez no pudieron asistir en el pasado.<\/p>\n
Sabemos que anteriormente trabaj\u00f3 en organizaciones juveniles. \u00bfPuedes contarnos sobre eso y el impacto que tuvo en ti y en tu participaci\u00f3n con SMYAL?<\/b><\/h4>\n
Trabaj\u00e9 para la organizaci\u00f3n YMCA durante m\u00e1s de 16 a\u00f1os en varios lugares de Virginia y Maryland, desde consejero de campamentos de verano hasta director de programas y director ejecutivo asociado. Ese trabajo me ense\u00f1\u00f3 una y otra vez que trabajar con ni\u00f1os realmente moldea su futuro y el nuestro. Brindar a los j\u00f3venes oportunidades nuevas y emocionantes que normalmente no tendr\u00edan los inspira a so\u00f1ar y llegar m\u00e1s lejos.<\/p>\n
Cuando dej\u00e9 mi carrera en la Y, extra\u00f1\u00e9 esa conexi\u00f3n con el desarrollo juvenil y no pod\u00eda pensar en ninguna otra organizaci\u00f3n a la que quisiera ayudar m\u00e1s que SMYAL.<\/p>\n
\u00bfC\u00f3mo se mantiene conectado con la comunidad y las causas durante el COVID-19? \u00bfHas adquirido alg\u00fan pasatiempo nuevo?<\/b><\/h4>\n
Me alegro de que, si bien COVID ha sido disruptivo, puedo continuar siendo voluntario en el SMYAL Brunch como copresidente y mantenerme conectado con nuestro comit\u00e9 y voluntarios. Y sigo defendiendo a mis amigos y familiares a trav\u00e9s del tel\u00e9fono, las redes sociales y conversaciones seguras en persona.<\/p>\n
En cuanto a nuevos pasatiempos, he estado ampliando mis habilidades culinarias, cocinando m\u00e1s a menudo, preparando comidas m\u00e1s complejas, probando nuevos sabores y platos. Tambi\u00e9n hice algunos 5k virtuales, compr\u00e9 una bicicleta nueva y vi MUCHA televisi\u00f3n compulsiva.<\/p>\n
Sabemos que eres un gran aficionado a los deportes, \u00bftienes alg\u00fan momento favorito?<\/b><\/h4>\n
Bueno, por supuesto, uno de mis momentos favoritos fue ver a los Nacionales ganar la Serie Mundial el a\u00f1o pasado. Como donante importante, pude realizar una videollamada la primavera pasada con el lanzador de los Nats Sean Doolittle y su esposa Eireann, quienes han sido grandes partidarios de SMYAL. Realmente extra\u00f1o ir a Nats Park para ver los juegos, pero s\u00e9 que controlaremos el COVID y los deportes ser\u00e1n una recompensa.<\/p>\n
\n\u00danase a Lamar para generar un impacto en las vidas de los j\u00f3venes LGBTQ uni\u00e9ndose, renovando o mejorando su membres\u00eda como donante principal.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"featured_media":8912,"template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-3414","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"yoast_head":"\nMajor Donor Spotlight: Lamar Braithwaite - SMYAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/smyal.org\/es\/news\/major-donor-spotlight-lamar-braithwaite\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Major Donor Spotlight: Lamar Braithwaite - SMYAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This September, it is our honor to highlight major donor, Lamar Braithwaite.
