W Hotels recently partnered with HRC and Jennifer Hudson for Third Thursdays, a monthly Turn it Up For Change cocktail networking series joining in the nationwide fight for LGBT equality. DJ Ridge, Chelsee Under-Pier, Alan Picus, Justin Luke, and BoiParty.com welcomed a handsomely dressed crowd to the Living Room at W New York – Times Square. W Hotels around the country are stepping up to host monthly music events to raise funds to the HRC. While Jennifer Hudson didn’t stop by she has promised a portion of the proceeds from downloads of her forthcoming “I Still Love You” remix single to the HRC on behalf of Turn it Up For Change.
