Description

Join us for this very special Fundraiser and Presentation to benefit Open Door

Featuring

Greg Louganis

Hear 5 time Olympic medalist Greg Louganis talk about his life as a positive gay male and Olympian and a person with HIV/AIDS.

1988 was not only the year Louganis made Olympic history, but also the year he tested positive for HIV. After coming to terms with his diagnosis, Louganis collaborated with Eric Marcus to write his autobiography Breaking the Surface, which spent five weeks at number one on the New York Times bestseller list.

Today, Greg Louganis speaks out on the obstacles he has overcome with a warmth and grace that embody the Olympic spirit.

Louganis is never one to give up, even in the face of adversity.  This was clear when he pulled off one of the most-publicized moments in sports history; after hitting his head on the board in the prelims, he came back to win the three-meter finals as if the accident never happened. His passion to overcome the odds and to fight for equality is what makes him a unique keynoter and powerful story teller.
