When Carl Nassib reached out to members of The Trevor Project in March 2021, they knew it was a special, unique conversation, but they had no idea the impact and exposure it would eventually have on their foundation.
Three months later, when the Las Vegas Raiders’ defensive end suddenly put the Trevor Project — the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ youth — into the public eye, they were blown away by the outpouring of support it received.
“We are so grateful to Carl for bringing awareness to our mission, which of course, is saving the lives of LGBTQ youth and their survival,” Trevor Project vice president of communications Kevin Wong told Silver and Black Pride.
