The Game-a-thon serves three purposes: (1) To fund raise for BIH (2) To provide a fun, safe and friendly environment for the community to enjoy (3) To outreach to the Boulder County community about BIHP services.

Black physicians have long faced discrimination in the U.S.A. and African-American students have often been discouraged from pursuing careers in the medical field.  The National Medical Association goal was to have an increase of 12% of blacks and peoples of color as doctors by 1975.

Join Bent Lens Cinema and BMoCA for a special screening of the highly
acclaimed "Black White & Gray" -- the award winning portrayal of famed
photographer Robert Mapplethorpe and his partner, renowned art collector
Sam Wagstaff, and their platonic menage-a-trois with punk poet and
songwriter Patti Smith. Bent Lens Cinema screened this film at Queer
Realities 2008 and our friends at BMoCA liked it so much they wanted to
show it again, and make it an evening of art lovers, queers and queer art
lovers!

Whether you want to catch it a 2nd time or you missed it the first time,
don't miss this chance to see a great film about some of the most cutting
edge glbt artists of our time.

Please join us for this special event, in which Professor Jamieson explores the efforts to disqualify Senator Hillary Clinton as an inauthentic ‘bitch,’ Senator Barack Obama as a welfare-promoting associate of terrorists and criminals, and Senator John McCain as too old, out of touch, and erratic to be trusted with the presidency in tough times.
