Lady Gaga + Robin Hood: VOTE Hetrick-Martin Institute!

In a historic initiative, LGBTQ activist and ground-breaking artist Lady Gaga has partnered with the Robin Hood Foundation to launch an interactive contest through Facebook, of which Hetrick-Martin is a principal partner!

Lady Gaga and Robin Hood are partnering to donate $1 million between five New York City-based youth services charities. Awards will be split determined by an online vote present on Lady Gaga's Facebook page. The group receiving the most votes will win $500,000 with 2nd place getting $200,000, 3rd place $150,000, 4th place $100,000 and 5th place $50,000. The winner will be revealed on May 9th at Robin Hood's annual gala.

This contest affords Hetrick-Maritn the ability to provide counseling to more LGBTQ youth and their families, clothe more homeless LGBTQ youth from our onsite Pantry, administer more free HIV tests, and serve more meals in the Café. With young people coming out earlier than ever before, the need for our unique services has increased at an unprecedented rate.




Starting at 2:00 pm eastern standard time Tuesday, April 26, 2011 and continuing through 6:00 am eastern standard time Friday, May 6th Lady Gaga is asking you to vote for your favorite charity.
