ABOUT BAGLY
FOR OVER 35 YEARS, BAGLY HAS BEEN A CONSTANT SOURCE OF SUPPORT AND HOPE FOR SOME OF THE MOST
MARGINALIZED MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES. THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE BAGLY’S COMMUNITY CENTER, WEEKLY
DROP-IN SPACE, FREE SEXUAL HEALTH CLINIC, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, BAGLY HAS CREATED A
SPACE WHERE LGBTQ YOUTH RECEIVE LIFE-SAVING AND LIFE CHANGING OPPORTUNITIES AND VITAL SKILLS IN ORDER TO
KEEP THEMSELVES SAFE, HEALTHY, AND HAPPY. BAGLY’S UNIQUE VISION OF YOUTH-LED ADULT-SUPPORTED
PROGRAMS, TIRELESS DEDICATION TO SOCIAL JUSTICE FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES, AND LARGE GROUP OF DEDICATED
ADULT SUPPORTERS AND ALLIES HAS MADE BAGLY ONE OF THE MOST TRUSTED AND RESPECTED LGBTQ YOUTH
ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COUNTRY FOR OVER THREE DECADES. THROUGH ITS STATEWIDE NETWORK OF LGBTQ YOUTH
GROUPS, BAGLY SERVES OVER 7,000 YOUTH EACH YEAR AND HAS SERVED OVER 30,000 YOUTH SINCE THE
ORGANIZATION’S FOUNDING IN 1980.
OUR MISSION
The Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Youth (BAGLY, Inc.) is a
youth-led, adult-supported social support organization committed to social justice, and
creating, sustaining and advocating for programs, policies, and services for the LGBTQ
youth community.

EVENT INFORMATION
When:
Thursday May 7, 2015
6:00PM to 9:00PM
Where:
New England Aquarium
1 Central Wharf
Boston, MA 02110
Why:
This year BAGLY will celebrate its 35th anniversary providing life-saving, life changing
programming and services to LGBTQ youth throughout Massachusetts. We are proud to be
one of the nation’s oldest youth-led, adult-supported organizations.
In addition to celebrating our 35th Anniversary, BAGLY is thrilled to award former Governor
Deval Patrick with the 2015 Queer Activist Honorary Degree. Governor Deval Patrick
is an acclaimed civil rights lawyer and the 71st governor of Massachusetts. He has been
a strong advocate for the environment, reproductive protections, and LGBTQ rights. The
queer activist college honorary degree was introduced in 2012 to recognize & celebrate the
commitment and dedication of individuals who have devoted their lives to the core values of
BAGLY: youth leadership, diversity, & social justice for all communities.
Each year this event draws guests from across Massachusetts including some of Boston’s
most prominent philanthropists, state and local government officials, and BAGLY’s most
dedicated supporters.

Why Sponsor This event?
The business side of supporting LGBTQ youth!
Market Research:
Good corporate citizenship is now an accepted tenet of best business practices – but why support LGBTQ causes?
As a sea change of social and political changes surrounding LGBTQ issues takes place in the U.S., it’s vital that
businesses not only maintain internal non-discriminatory practices, but also openly demonstrate and appeal to
LGBTQ stakeholders.
According to Community Marketing & Insight’s 2014 Annual LGBT Community Survey of 34,000 LGBT people:
• 45% of gay/bi men, and 54% of lesbian/bi women believe Corporate America does not do a good overall job
reaching out to the LGBT community
• 36% of gay/bi men and 31% of lesbian/bi women are confident in their economic future, whereas according to
a Gallup poll, only 21% of mainstream America feels confident in the economy
• 97% of gay/bi men and 99% of lesbian/bi women list LGBTQ discrimination as their most pressing social
concern, far ahead of marriage equality
Why supporting BAGLY is good business:
We know the commitment to sponsor a non-profit is never a decision that’s taken lightly. Here are 5, of many,
compelling reasons why investing in BAGLY is not only the right thing to do to support the LGBTQ community, but
how your sponsorship will resonate with key demographics, social and political leaders, and the wider community
of straight allies:
• BAGLY has 35 years of sound fiscal policies, financial and organizational growth, and unimpeachable
community credibility
• Grassroots, community-based programmatic approach means your investment impacts LGBTQ youth
directly, and doesn’t support a bloated infrastructure
• Visibility for your organization in key demographics, including: high school students, college students, and
the parents and caretakers of LGBTQ youth
• Region-wide exposure through BAGLY’s program, The AGLY Network, which connects 15 LGBTQ youth
groups across Massachusetts, reaching over 7,000 LGBTQ youth, and their networks, each year
• Bang for your buck – as BAGLY is successfully cultivating unprecedented organizational growth, the
time to invest in BAGLY is now. Your organization will receive more exposure with a reasonable financial
commitment than national non-profits who can’t focus their marketing efforts locally or regionally.
