Dear Friends,
 
As many of you know, The Trevor Project honored both Sigourney Weaver and Lifetime Networks at Cracked Xmas 11 last month. These honorees were chosen in part for starring in and releasing the groundbreaking film, Prayers for Bobby. Sigourney Weaver stars in this Lifetime Original Movie, based on a true story and Leroy Aarons' book of the same name. The film tells the story of Mary Griffith, a profoundly religious wife and mother who begins to question her faith after the suicide of her gay son. 
 
On Saturday, January 24, 2009, Prayers for Bobby will premiere on Lifetime Television. In honor of this important film, I hope you will consider hosting or attending a Prayers for Bobby Viewing Party. Using our Viewing Party Toolkit, it's easy to organize a screening in your home that can also raise vital funds for The Trevor Project, so that every "Bobby" in this country has a safe place to turn in times of crisis and despair.
 
Prayers for Bobby poignantly encompasses the heart of The Trevor Project's mission and the reasons why our programs and services are so important. It also includes important references to our friends at Parents, Families, & Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), an organization that played an important role in Mary Griffith's experience. PFLAG will be hosting its own official Prayers for Bobby viewing parties in order to maximize viewership of this touching film. 
 
Lifetime is available on all basic cable networks, so check local listings to find the channel and air time in your community. Don't forget to let us know about your viewing party by sending photos, guest lists/sign-in sheets and notes.
 
I look forward to hearing about your reaction to Prayers for Bobby, and hope you and your friends are as inspired by it as I was.
 
All my best, 

Charles Robbins
Executive Director/CEO
