One of the many ways we support student leaders is through our various leadership workshops, conferences and seminars, including our recent Campus Pride and Human Rights Campaign Carolinas Young Adult Leadership Summit in Charlotte and our upcoming Camp Pride 2012 Summer Leadership Program. Both are phenomenal annual programs for LGBT and ally students.

But the work we do isn't possible without the generous support of the many people, organizations and businesses that pull together to help Campus Pride achieve its mission in supporting and developing LGBT and ally student leaders and safer, more inclusive college and university campuses.

Campus Pride sends a big, hearty Carolina thank you to the Charleston, S.C.-based Alliance for Full Acceptance and to the Charlotte-based Scorpio nightclub. Both have supported our work in tremendous ways -- AFFA provides grants so that students in the Carolinas and Georgia can attend our Camp Pride for free, and Scorpio's recent fundraiser for us the weekend of our Carolinas Young Adult Leadership Summit supports our efforts here in our hometown.

Thank you AFFA. Thank you Scorpio. Your generosity is appreciated!
