LOS ANGELES, July 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Trevor Project (Trevor), the non-profit organization that operates the nation’s only around- the-clock suicide prevention helpline for gay and questioning youth, today announced that it raised more than $150,000 at Harmony, Heart & Humor, its seventh annual New York event. The amount raised is a record for the organization.

Bravo, the cable network that broadcasts hit programming such as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Project Runway, was the inaugural recipient of The Trevor Commitment Award. The fundraiser was also the platform for the kickoff of a major fundraising initiative in support of The Trevor Helpline (Helpline).

The event was sponsored in major part by Millennium Hotels and Resorts, Absolut Vodka and TNT. Numerous celebrities attended Harmony, Heart & Humor. John Glover presented The Trevor Life award to Nathan Lane; Tim Gunn and Carson Kressley presented The Trevor Commitment Award to Andy Cohen, senior vice president of Bravo.

“We are extremely pleased by the outstanding results of this year’s New York event, Trevor’s best to date in a city that clearly demonstrates its support of the organization year after year,” said Charles Robbins, executive director, The Trevor Project. “In addition to the funds raised at the event, we are also delighted by the early response to the call center campaign, which has been remarkably strong. This tremendous support will help guarantee that Trevor will continue to help save the lives of America’s gay and questioning youth and will also be available as an important resource to them.”

About The Trevor Project

The Trevor Project is a non-profit organization that operates the only nationwide, around-the-clock suicide prevention helpline for gay and questioning youth. The Trevor Helpline, 866.4.U.TREVOR, is a free and confidential service that offers hope through its trained counselors. In addition to the helpline, the organization’s website provides information on identifying and assisting potentially suicidal youth and “Dear Trevor”, a confidential resource where youth can ask questions about sexual orientation and identity issues. The Trevor Project also provides lifesaving guidance and vital resources to educators and parents. The organization was founded by three filmmakers whose film, Trevor, about a teenager who attempts suicide after realizing that he might be gay, received the 1994 Academy Award(R) for Best Short Film (Live Action).
