GAYFEST NYC is committed to giving back to the LGBT community, thru our fundraising efforts and the generosity of our sponsors, advertisers & supporters. To that end, it has established a scholarship fund to benefit students of Harvey Milk High School & last year
GAYFEST NYC awarded 11 scholarships to graduating seniors & established an after-school acting program for the students. Harvey Milk High School (HMHS) is a fully-accredited, voluntary NYC public high school focused on the educational needs of teenagers who are in crisis or at risk of physical violence and/or emotional harm in a traditional educational environment.
