Campus Pride has been lucky to have many wonderful donors and corporate partners/sponsors. The last few years Campus Pride has welcomed and enjoyed a partnership with RSVP Vacations to provide visibility for our work with LGBT youth. Most recently, Campus Pride did a national give-away for a “Free RSVP Cruise” to students, faculty and staff who participated in our National LGBT College Climate Survey.

This past week I had the opportunity to go aboard RSVP Vacations on a trip to Alaska. The majestic scenery of Alaska and the amenities aboard the Westerdam were truly special. However, what I enjoyed most was meeting the people aboard the ship – new friends and old friends. RSVP has a dedicated staff and volunteers who are not only “community minded” but deeply committed to LGBT youth issues. One thing I have always appreciated about RSVP is their commitment to give back to the LGBT community and the importance they place on “building future leaders” in our movement. I know this comes from the very top of the organization with their President Charlie Rounds. Another outstanding person who I adore and have enjoyed getting to know better on the Alaska cruise.

Thank you RSVP – and especially our contact Nick Pavlick.The trip was a much-needed vacation and I appreciate all you do for the LGBT community. Campus Pride looks forward to another successful year working together. ALL ABOARD! Learn more -- http://rsvpvacations.com/
