Hosted an annual fundraising dinner, attended by 100 individuals, to raise funds for the organization's LGBTQ+ youth scholarship program. The event allows supporters to network and contribute to the scholarship fund. A key feature includes testimonials from past scholarship recipients, who share updates on their academic progress and the direct impact of the community's support.
BBLA sponsors quarterly facilitated discussions, engaging expert panelists to provide information on critical community issues. Topics include mental health, public health vaccinations (COVID-19/mpox), voting rights, and family-related social services. These forums provide a space for individuals to share common experiences, reinforcing a sense of community while addressing health and whole-person care. In 2024, BBLA also launched the '2 Shots 1 Love' public awareness campaign. This campaign promoted mpox vaccination to the community through a targeted media strategy that included billboards and social media platforms.
