SAGE & Friends Miami 2019

EVENT DETAILS
Join us for drinks and hors-d’oeuvres with SAGE supporters in Miami to celebrate our community’s trailblazers as well as honor Raquel Matas and Carla Lupi. At the reception, SAGE CEO Michael Adams will share updates from our work in South Florida and the rest of the country. Your attendance furthers SAGE’s work, assuring that our LGBTQ+ pioneers can continue to thrive.

ABOUT RAQUEL AND CARLA
A family for more than 30 years, these women provided a role model for others by being both out and successful within the power structure—Raquel in the legal profession and Carla as an MD specializing in obstetrics and gynecology—while at the same time raising a daughter (at a time when it was far more unusual for a same-gender couple) and supporting with time and resources numerous LGBTQ+ organizations, both nationally and locally. These women are truly SAGE pioneers.
