Join us in celebrating our one year Anniversary!
Courtesy of The Sanctuary - Biloxi, TRANS Program has been offered a primarily unexpected but also unique opportunity to hold a fundraising Gala, in honor of our one year Anniversary as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization! This will be our very first official fundraiser!
Beyond celebration, this event will serve to showcase the work we have done, speak to our current expansion and upcoming priorities, honor individuals and organizations like YOU (who have enabled us to do the life-changing work we do), raise funds for our planned Rapid Response Fund, Transformation Series, Podcast and Trans Youth Initiatives, and make memories! The event will be semi-formal and will include dinner, dessert, bar, raffles, a silent auction, speakers, video, testimonials, awards, a 360 degrees photo booth, live entertainment and venue-attached and themed overnight rooms (with select sponsorship packages).
Over the past year, and thanks to allies like you, TRANS Program has been able to help over a thousand transgender and non-binary people through peer to peer connection and belonging-centered initiatives, creation of safe spaces, amplification of voices, connection to and expansion of resources, education, general and direct advocacy, networking, and direct services such as assistance with legal name and gender marker change, therapy, leadership development opportunities and more! We consistently support parents of trans people, partners and families of trans people, trans adults and trans youth. Many have shared testimonies of newfound purpose in life, overall improved quality of life and, for some… a reason to live.
There is plenty of work to do and with proper resources and support from allies like you, WE, trans and non-binary leaders, have and will continue to make waves of positive change, towards a more just, inclusive, safe and affirming world where trans people don’t just survive, but thrive.

BREAKING — GOV REEVES SIGNS HB1125 INTO LAW
February 28, 2023
Governor Reeves signs HB1125 and it becomes law, restricting access to gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth. Hormone blockers, hormone replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgery are not legal courses for gender transition of youth, in Mississippi. We are here to support trans youth and their families during this challenging time and we send love and solidarity to all who are impacted.
