Freedom to Be Ourselves: Transhealth’s Annual Benefit

Join us for Transhealth’s Freedom to Be Ourselves Annual Benefit on Saturday, May 16th at 7:30pm at the Academy of Music in Northampton, MA. Celebrate Transhealth’s 5th birthday and support our mission of protecting and expanding access to gender-affirming care with an unforgettable evening that will illuminate the power of hope, the warmth of joy, and the courage required to live authentically.

There will be a powerful keynote, Transhealth’s first ever Community Impact Awards will be given to four amazing trans leaders from each of the four counties in Western Massachusetts, and the evening will end with a conversation with Mercury Stardust (she/they).

We’ll ask Mercury about her experience being invited into people’s homes and hearts as “The Trans Handy Ma’am” and as an educator, author, performance artist, fundraiser and advocate for trans rights and healthcare. We’ll talk with them about where she finds joy in difficult times, how she uses creativity and craft as tools for health and wellness, why showing up for our communities is so important, and—as someone with an influential platform—what her advice is to anyone wanting to use their own voice to make a difference in the world.

Get your tickets NOW! With your support, we have given away all 100 FREE tickets to our patients and to those who belong to the trans and gender-diverse community— there are no more free tickets available. Please purchase a ticket to attend! All are welcome, including kids.
