The original Brothers for Sisters campaign began in 1995 as a way for Bay Area men
to 'give-back' to the women's community who had been the first to step up as
care-givers and help-mates when HIV first ravaged the San Francisco LGBT community.
That giving tradition continues on May 15th as we come together to honor women,
men and transgender people who are working together to support Lyon-Martin.
L-M mission statement here: Lyon-Martin provides personalized healthcare and support
services to women and transgender people who lack access to quality care because
of their sexual or gender identity, regardless of their ability to pay. Lyon-Martin Health Services is the only free-standing community clinic in California with a specific
emphasis on lesbian/bisexual women and transgender health care.
So far, in 2008, Lyon-Martin has been named as a beneficiary of events produced by men
from the Bears of San Francisco and The Gay Rodeo in support of Brothers for Sisters.
In addition, committee members are in the planning stages for two other events this year.
The Brothers for Sisters campaign invites YOU to join this wonderful effort in support of Lyon-Martin. For more information, contact: info@Lyon-Martin.org
