We look forward to seeing you at our annual in-person fundraiser in celebration of BPSF's birthday on Saturday, April 20th!

Our theme is "Empowering Our Resilient Community" as we announce new sources of support for our local LGBTQIA+ community. And celebrate 14 years of our donor community making BPSF a dependable resource for LGBTQIA+ emerging adults in San Marcos and Hays County.

Roughhouse Brewing is the perfect venue for the afternoon due to their affirming staff, seating under gorgeous oak trees, delicious food, and perfectly crafted lagers, farmhouse ales, and spontaneous cave beers.

We will have a short program at 2:30 p.m. to share highlights from our past fiscal year, announce the Victor Saldivar Academic Scholarship, hear from recent Jeremy O. Torres Emergency Stabilization Fund recipients, and enjoy being together as an inclusive and empowering community!

Los Gatos 512 will be filling the air all afternoon with Salsa, Cumbia, Bachata, and more at this event that is part of the OUTLaw Pride Fest happening all weekend, across venues, in San Marcos.

Our fabulous silent auction bundles will tantalize you with something you need or want to cherish. A generous donor is matching all donations up to $2,000! Double your donation in celebration of ensuring our local LGBTQIA+ residents know there is a source of support for emergency stabilization grants, academic scholarships, and paid internships.
RSVP today and stay tuned for announcements about special tributes, guests, and silent auction items.

BPSF is accepting online Emergency Stabilization applications!

BPSF's Jeremy O Torres Emergency Stabilization Fund (JOTESF) application is available 24/7! Use our online application.  BPSF was created to support our local LGBTQIA+ emerging adults, and the Jeremy O. Torres Emergency Stabilization Fund is here for you  when you're facing an unexpected crisis.

BPSF serves LGBTQIA+ emerging adults (between the ages of 18 and 25) residing in the Greater San Marcos area, including Hays County.  We recognize everyone has their unique path and we are here as a source of support during unforeseen difficult times.  We can support Texas State and ACC students residing in our service area.

In the past two years, the JOTESF has supported over 125 LGBTQIA+ individuals at a time of unexpected need.  Circumstances included medical emergencies, natural disasters, immigration requirements, unexpected work reductions, loss of support from family, and roommate situations negatively impacting rent payment.  We are proud to continue this legacy of support.  We invite you to read about the Legacy of Jeremy and his influence on BPSF.
