Hello there. I organized and facilitated the “couples’ track” for First Event last year. Carole MacKenzie and I facilitated it the year before as well (she couldn’t make it last year). We would like to run the program again this year. Please feel free to contact me so we can discuss further. I could submit a proposal if required as well. Looking forward to connecting and finding out more about the 2025 Conference. Best, Abbe Kruger 570-852-1499

Hi! i reached out to a contact that I was told is running the fashion show. I have participated in the fashion show as a co-host, designer and model, and would like to participate again. I reached out in early November, and have yet to receive a response, I identify as a BIPOC transmasculine individual, and I am looking for allyhsip. Please let me know the proper channels of communication.
Hi there, thank you for reaching out! I will forward your message and email to the appropriate person today. We have several ways of supporting BIPOC attendees this year and would be happy to support your attendance and participation.
Because my Wife still doesn’t support my gender dysphoria I had to give away another over$3,000.00 worth of women’s shoe, dresses etc… for at least the 4th time so I can’t afford the hotel or the First Event Registration Fee. If I can make it. Could I volunteer to work and help you every day from Thursday morning January 29th to Sunday night February 2nd for at least 4 hours a day or more if you need me to, to cover the cost of the Hotel and Registration?
Good morning. My name is Brenda Vanleuven and my partner’s name is Dez Haynes. I’m writing to you cause we both really want to to attend the the First Event this in January in Boston. But I really can’t afford it due to the fact I’m disabled and my Income is only $210 a month and I was hoping there might a way to help us to be able to join the Event for the weekend. I’m so sorry for asking for this help and I feel bad just for asking
