DoubleDutch Supports the Trevor Project

This Summer DoubleDutch is supporting The Trevor Project by donating a mobile event application for their marquee event, TrevorLIVE (both events in New York and Los Angeles). TrevorLIVE is presented by Audi of America and Wells Fargo. This major event brings together top entertainers and corporate leaders to support Trevor’s life-saving, life-affirming work for LGBTQ youth in crisis.

Aside from dinner and entertainment, a major portion of this event revolves around a silent and live auction – both accessible via the mobile event application. With auction packages ranging from a VIP night with P!NK to acting lessons at the Lee Strasberg Theater/Film Institute, we’re positive this is going to be another huge fundraising event for the Trevor Project.

The event is also host to a number of our favorite celebrities (or Bravo-lebrities) like Andy Cohen, Jane Lynch and Dallas Roberts.

With the mobile event app in hand, attendees will be able to interact with each other through an engaging activity feed, bid on silent auction items and even check out where they’ll be seated. The event just kicked off, and we’re thrilled to see how attendees take to the app over the next few hours.

If you’re at TrevorLIVE, download the mobile event app.
