Dine OUT November 11 to support PV Men's Chorus

November 7, 2014

Invite some friends to go out for breakfast, lunch or dinner on Tuesday, November 11 at one of the fine restaurants participating in the Dine OUT, and a a percentage of their proceeds will be donated to PVMC.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - One of the easiest fund raisers in all of Puerto Vallarta is just around the corner! On Tuesday, November 11, you can Dine OUT at participating Old Town restaurants and bars, while supporting Mexico's only gay men's choral group, the Puerto Vallarta Men's Chorus (PVMC).


Here's how it works:

Just invite some friends and go out to breakfast, lunch or dinner on Tuesday, November 11 at one of the fine restaurants participating in the Dine OUT. The more people the better because the restaurants will contribute a percentage of their income – a percentage of your bill - for that one day to help fund the chorus.

Why support Puerto Vallarta Men's Chorus?

Aside from the cultural benefits to PV, a gay men's chorus helps create a positive bond within the community and helps conquer discrimination.

Wight's story is a wonderful example.

Wight is a retired doctor. Despite financial success, all his life he has felt like an outsider - through high school, medical school and on into his retirement. He tried 3 times to end his life, serious attempts, but was found by friends each time. Then his pastor suggested he volunteer at the local gay chorus and Wight found a family, acceptance, and a reason to live. Now you can find him licking envelopes in the chorus office, buying food for rehearsals, taking tickets at concerts, donating money - no task too small, no chorus request too large. Within 10 minutes of meeting him, he will tell you, "The chorus saved my life."

Although PVMC is only a couple of years old, we too have members who were isolated, even here in Puerto Vallarta! Many local gay people, both Mexican and gringo, continue to be afraid to share who they are with family, friends, employers or clients. Gay choruses help break down those barriers as people attend concerts and begin to recognize we are all the same. Choruses create bonds within the organization and between family and community members. Choruses are doing this all over the US, Canada, Europe, and now, for the first time in Mexico!
