A great honor to the founders of PFLAG SCV!

We are proud to announce the establishment of the Peggy & Jeff Stabile PFLAG SCV Scholarship!
https://www.pflagscv.org/stabile-scholarship

This scholarship honors the unwavering dedication of our founders Peggy and Jeffrey Stabile in supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQIA+ individuals in the Santa Clarita Valley. Since 1988 they have tirelessly championed equality and inclusion, creating a more welcoming community for all.

The scholarship will provide financial assistance to LGBTQIA+ students pursuing higher education and committed to advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights and promoting diversity and inclusion.🌈🎓

WOW! 14 years ago…

I believe all students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression,
deserve to feel safe and supported. That means I pledge to:
Not use anti-LGBT language and slurs;
Intervene, if I safely can, in situations where other students are being harassed;
Support efforts to end bullying and harassment.

See you all tonight at PFLAG SCV’s February meeting. Newsletter👇🏼
