Affirmations Rocket Community Challenge

Creating Space to Flourish: Support Affirmations with Rocket

Since 1989, Affirmations has been a trailblazing community center, transforming the lives of LGBTQ+ Michiganders. Their vision is both powerful and necessary: an equitable world where every single person has the right to live, love, and thrive authentically. Every day, Affirmations makes this a reality by providing life-saving safe spaces, vital mental health resources, and a fierce sense of community connection.

At Rocket, we believe true success means leaving the world kinder, more equitable, and more inclusive than we found it. That is exactly why we are so proud to lock arms with Affirmations and champion their mission.

When you support this fundraiser, you aren't just making a donation, you are giving someone a place to belong.

Where Compassion Meets Action For over three decades, Affirmations has been a beacon of hope in Metro Detroit. But their impact doesn't stop there. Through their CenterCore Partners initiative, they extend their reach statewide, ensuring smaller and rural LGBTQ+ centers have the resources they need. Whether someone is in a bustling city or a rural town, Affirmations ensures they have access to affirming spaces and critical support.
