Please join the Matthew Shepard Foundation as we honor Matt’s legacy and commemorate the 25th year of the Foundation and our mission to erase hate on Saturday, October 14, 6pm, at Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel.

As the largest fundraising event of the year, our annual gala celebrates individuals and organizations for their leadership and commitment to replacing hate with understanding, compassion and acceptance. Don’t miss this memorable evening acknowledging a quarter century of changing hearts and minds, while highlighting nationally recognized honorees with three signature awards – The Spirit of Matthew Award, The Dennis Dougherty Award for Community Leadership, and the Making a Difference Award.
