History

Historical Context

In 1998, after the Oscar-winning short “Trevor” exposed a gap in LGBTQ youth crisis care, James Lecesne, Peggy Rajski and Randy Stone founded The Trevor Project, launching the nation’s first 24-hour suicide-prevention helpline. By 2007 it had received over 100,000 calls. In 2026, singer Orville Peck’s Man Turned Mule Tour will donate $1 per ticket via Ticketmaster, channeling concert revenue into the organization’s mental-health services.
