TMC Orlando’s 1st Platoon will be joining with our friends and neighbors at the Zebra Coalition for an impactful evening of both service and socializing. For those who are unfamiliar, the mission of the Zebra Coalition is to foster hope, dignity and self-respect in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and all youth (LGBT+), and to provide them an opportunity to grow up in a safe, healthy, and supportive environment. With roughly 40% of homeless youth identifying as LGBT, their mission could not be more critical and necessary. They are, without a doubt, saving lives. In previous years our combined potluck dinner was well received and highly appreciated. This year, we’ve been presented with an opportunity to take our support to the next level. As a special thank you to the TMC-FL platoons that stepped up to the challenges of post-hurricane humanitarian support, we were given an additional social allotment to be used by the end of this year. With this in mind, we sat down with ZC staff and identified the best means to put this money to good use. Here’s what we came up with: Potluck dinner, Gift Cards (clothing, groceries, medicine, and transportation), a subscription to Xbox Game Pass, and a face-painting/pride bracelet creation station.

Parking Information
Carpool if possible. You can park in their small gravel lot or on the road (front or back). However, whatever you do, please do not park in their neighbors' private lots. They will tow you. Even out of a handicapped spot. (Trust me). If alternative parking options become available, I will let everyone know.
