"Glen's Friends is a true friend to the community, in every meaning of the word! Northwest CASA had the honor of meeting the good people of Glen's Friends at a community Queer Prom we were all supporting. We met later to learn more about how we could support each other's mission. Northwest CASA was having an inaugural film and wine festival in April 2024. Fundraising is particularly difficult this year due to economic and political challenges. Glen's Friends enthusiastically signed up to sponsor our event. Not only did they sponsor our event, but they attended and mingled with guests who were eager to learn about Glen's Friends. These connections are vital to fighting sexual violence in our community. Glen's Friends show up when it matters most and their passion for inclusive love, makes them a treasured friend to the community."
Carrie Estrada, Executive Director, Northwest Center Against Sexual Assault
