Equality Virginia Legends 2011: Une Soirée à Paris
'An Evening in Paris'
November 19th, 2011 Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, Virginia Beach
6:00pm to 11:00pm
Equality Virginia (EV) continues its annual tradition of paying tribute with its Legends Awards to outstanding contributors to the fight for equal rights for all Virginians. On November 19th, EV will host its 6th annual gala with a “Soirée a Paris” honoring Bill Griggs (Norfolk) as the recipient of the Individual Award and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church (Norfolk) with the Legends Community Award.
Honorees were nominated by members of the community and are selected based on criteria developed by the Legends Nomination Committee. The honorees demonstrate outstanding leadership, courage and commitment to promoting social justice issues such as diversity, equality and human rights. They have also made significant contributions to the LGBT community and the community-at-large through their professional activities and volunteer efforts, and who exemplify the values and mission of Equality Virginia.
On this magical Soirée à Paris, you will also enjoy delicious passed hors d’ oeuvres, musical performances from the soulful Erica Stanley, a cash bar, bid on one-of-a-kind silent auction items, all while being led by emcees for the night – Ramonta and Cathy Lewis!
