community building

Trans Pride: BSH hosts an annual Trans Pride event, bringing together TLGBQIA+ individuals, allies, and community organizations to celebrate transgender identities and promote self-empowerment. Trans Pride offers a safe and affirming space for community members to express themselves, share their stories, and engage in supportive activities. 

Ballroom Gatherings: BSH organizes Ballroom gatherings, creating spaces for artistic expression, community engagement, and celebration of diverse identities. These events embrace the rich cultural history and significance of the Ballroom scene, providing opportunities for self-expression, creativity, and connection within the TLGBQIA+ community. 

Holidays: We host special events such as Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to provide a sense of community and support to individuals in need. These gatherings serve as an opportunity for the TLGBQIA+ community and beyond to come together and enjoy a shared meal in a safe and inclusive environment. In addition to the festive meals, BSH also distributes holiday baskets filled with essential items and gifts, spreading joy and ensuring that everyone has a meaningful and joyful holiday experience. 

Social Events: We organize group outings and activities to provide opportunities for social engagement and connection within the TLGBQIA+ community. From bowling nights for seniors to day trips to places like Ocean City, these outings offer individuals a chance to bond, have fun, and create lasting memories. By organizing these events, BSH aims to combat social isolation, promote a sense of belonging, and enhance overall well-being. These group outings provide a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals can relax, enjoy themselves, and build meaningful connections with others in the community.

Trans Day of Remembrance: BSH holds events to commemorate Trans Day of Remembrance, honoring the lives of transgender individuals who have been lost to violence and discrimination. These events raise awareness, foster solidarity, and promote a message of remembrance and resilience.

Funerals & Memorials: BSH supports community members during times of loss and grief by providing assistance and resources for funerals. This includes emotional support, coordination with funeral services, and ensuring community members have the necessary support and resources during difficult times.
