NGLTF’s Matt Foreman Helps Center Advocates PAC Raise $21,000

Milwaukee - The 2007 Annual Center Advocates PAC Garden Party with Brunch and Cocktails proved to be an extraordinary success.  The August 26 event, held in Joseph Pabst’s gracious eastside home, was a delight for guests featured guest speaker Matt Foreman, the Executive Director of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF).  Foreman’s inspiring words and his challenge to dig deep for the cause moved guests to donate an additional $4,500 during the event, bringing the total amount raised to an unprecedented $21,000. 

Organizers lauded the generosity of the Milwaukee community in making the Garden Party a remarkable achievement in the effort to create LGBT equality. “Now more than ever it is important for people who believe in fairness for all Wisconsin citizens to become involved in the political process by electing public officials who share their values,” Center Advocate Co-President Laurie Guilbault said.

All proceeds from the event will help the Center Advocates PAC (formerly the Human Rights League) to educate voters about LGBT issues and elect candidates who publicly commit to protecting and advancing LGBT equality in Wisconsin.
