There are still a handful of coveted tickets for Hetrick-Martin Institute’s annual “Schools Out” benefit – the biggest (and best) party out east supporting LGBTQIA+ youth. HMI is the nation’s oldest LGBTQIA+ youth organization serving queer and trans youth, primarily of color, between the ages of 13 and 24. This vital organization raises money to ensure that Hetrick-Martin Institute’s young people have the resources they need through the summer months when schools are closed, and resources are scarce.

The always-packed party is a must on the summer social calendar with cocktails at 5pm, followed by a VIP “Best of the Hamptons” feast with dishes from Duryea’s, STK Steakhouse and the Almond, to name a few.
The event co-chairs this year are Benjamin Dixon, Larry Milstein and Tonia Steck.
Tickets can be purchased here.
