When looking for causes to donate our time or money to, our goal is to find an organization that may not get the attention it deserves, despite the worthiness of the cause. We discovered an excellent example this year of such a cause. So, XpressFix.com is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 14th annual non-profit Diva Invasion event, hosted by the Equal organization at the University of Central Florida! Known previously on campus as the "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Student Union, the Equal organization has a new mission of fostering a safe and positive campus experience for any student regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. However, Equal's purpose is not only limited to the campus of the University of Central Florida.
Part of the proceeds of this year's Diva Invasion will go to the Zebra Coalition to help down-and-out GLBTQ citizens who often see discrimination from some of the mainstream or faith-based charities. The Zebra Coalition is a non-profit partnership of local organizations that provides food, shelter, medical services, substance abuse treatment, employment, counseling and other services to gay, lesbian, and transsexual people, and even to people unsure of their sexual identity.
We admit that what we liked mostly about Equal is that they know how to make their cause fun! Hosted first by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Student Union in 1996, the Diva Invasion event has a new theme each year, with Diva Invasion 2010 being a circus-themed "Over the Top" show. Diva Invasion has grown more popular each year, and this year it will be one of UCF's largest GBLTQ events, with an expected 1,000 attendees. As with past shows, Diva Invasion 2010 features provocative set designs, female impersonation, fantastic performances, and an extraordinarily fun time for everyone. Added to this year's revue are male impersonators! And, performing their own unique form of aerialist art, the Anti-Gravity group will be dazzling the stage.
Please come have a good time supporting a good cause on November 4th at the UCF Arena! Admission is free for all UCF students (you also get 1,000 LINK Loot points) and $7 for students from other colleges and universities. For everyone else, admission is only $15. But we at XpressFix opted for the VIP tickets, which include reception, food, wine and beer for just $50. We hope to see you there!
Oh yeah, and starting today through November 04th of 2011, if you purchase any iPod Touch or iPhone Repair from XpressFix.com and use the coupon code EQUALUCF, we will donate 10% of the cost of each sale (excluding our shipping cost) to the EQUAL organization at the University of Central Florida.
