boiMAGazine celebrates the accomplishments of Tom Whitman, the person
behind the scenes that created Elevation sixteen years ago in Mammoth Lakes
to provide an alternative to the gay party scene in the great outdoors and built
the brand into the largest LGBT winter sports gathering in North America.

Tom Whitman Presents is a premiere LGBT promotion company, they have
produced more than 2000 events over the last 15 years, including Wonderland,
the largest LA Gay Pride event held on the backlot of Paramount Studios, the
infamous celebrity hot spot Cherry Pop, the long-running SIZE Sundays, and the
ELEVATION gay ski weeks in Mammoth Lakes, CA, Park City, UT and Tremblant,
Quebec.

We at boiMAGazine salute Tom for his community work, he is on the Board
of Directors of GLAAD, APLA Health and has produced events for many LGBT
charities, including HRC, The Trevor Project, GLAAD, Aids Project Los Angeles,
The LA Gay & Lesbian Center and more.
