SMYAL - Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League




Now in its 13th year, SMYAL's Annual Fall Brunch is the organization's signature event. As a major annual fundraiser, the Fall Brunch is a vital source of funding that helps to ensure SMYAL can continue providing programs to empower LGBTQ youth in the Washington, DC metro area.

In addition to providing an opportunity for SMYAL's community partners to have a better understanding of our various programs, the 13th Annual Fall Brunch is a fun-filled, and not-to-be missed community event! The Silent Auction Reception and Brunch Program take place in the posh, Mandarin Oriental, Washington, D.C., where guests are treated to five-star food and beverage service.
