BGCA Board of Directors
The mission of BGCA is to provide assistance and support to the LGBTQ+ and allied communities in California, including but not limited to the following areas of focus: HIV/AIDS; suicide prevention; health promotion; youth engagement and support; and, transgender and other under-represented populations within the LGBTQ+ and allied communities.
Our premiere annual fundraising event is Festival of Trees San Diego on the last Sunday before Thanksgiving. We also sponsor other events throughout the year building up to the holidays, including "Christmas in July" and "Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween Bar Crawl" in Hillcrest. We welcome those interested in volunteering to contact us at volunteers@festivaloftreessd.org.
Over the past 5 years, we have collectively brought together over 150 local businesses and raised nearly $200,000 for the San Diego LGBTQ+ community.
