New York City - Live Out Loud held its Seventh Annual Young Trailblazers Benefit Gala at the Chelsea Art Museum Monday night. The event honored four high school seniors who have demonstrated outstanding leadership skills and were each awarded a $2,500 scholarship for their activism. The evening was hosted by Broadway actor Cheyenne Jackson and included fashion designers Thom Browne, John Bartlett, and Ralph Rucci.

Since 2001, Live Out Loud programs, all free of charge, have reached more than 5,000 New York City students through panel discussions, speaker bureaus, and a workshop series. Programs usually are held in the afternoon when the school day has concluded or as part of an after-school program.

Tom, every time you post an article about an event, I get all excited and hope that maybe, just MAYBE, it will be close enough to me that I can attend. Nothing yet, but I keep looking!

Love ya!
