Thank you for your patience! We are still working to understand the cause of the breakdown. In the simplest terms, the tech we were using wasn't fast enough to process the high-quality video stream. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to show the prerecorded portions of Out for Good as originally planned, and we are working to correct these issues so that you can enjoy the show in its entirety soon.

We promise that this will not happen again and are committed to providing you with great virtual experiences.

We understand that we weren't able to give you the full experience as planned. If you would like a refund, please email mjones@montrosecenter.org.

We are so grateful for your virtual attendance, your incredible patience, the positive comments from those who were able to watch the live segments, and the messages of support you sent. We are so grateful for our vibrant LGBTQ community!

We have an incredible show, and we are very excited to share it with you, as together we celebrate and honor Dalton DeHart. Thank you for your amazing generosity! We are blown away by the fact that the event has already raised $116,000, including a $50,000 Leadership Match which will double your gifts throughout December.

We are so excited for you to see it! We will debut the show in its entirety, prerecorded bits, celebrity guests, presentation to Dalton, holiday performances, and all...

Wednesday, December 9 at 6pm

We will be in touch with donors again before the show with details about how to watch. 

Thank you again!!!

Why Supporting Your LGBTQ Center is Important Right Now

• The Montrose Center is distributing $1.5 million in direct financial assistance and COVID support to community members who are struggling due to the pandemic.
• We have seen an 87% increase in the need for our domestic violence services this year.
• Thanks to the successful Housing Our Future campaign in August and September, we will get 60 LGBTQ youth off the streets of Houston in the next 12 months – Huge thanks to the 75 volunteer fundraisers and 642 donors who helped us raise more than $213,000!
• The Law Harrington Senior Living Center is on track to open in March 2021. It will be a home for 150 seniors and the South’s 1st LGBTQ-affirming, affordable senior living center!
• Throughout the pandemic, we have remained open, providing essential services to our community, including food to LGBTQ seniors, shelter to homeless youth and survivors of domestic violence, tele-therapy, substance use recovery, HIV prevention and support, and much more!

Your support allows us to continue this important work.

Benefiting the Montrose Center
Since 1978, the Montrose Center has empowered LGTBQ individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. We are proud to be one of the largest and most comprehensive LGBTQ Centers in the nation.
