The Trevor Project announced Wednesday that it will honor actor Neil
Patrick Harris at the organization’s annual Cracked Xmas fund-raiser. Harris
hopes he can increase awareness of the Trevor Project, the leading
national organization focused on crisis intervention and suicide
prevention efforts among LGBTQ youths.

"For many years, I have been a passionate and enthusiastic supporter of the Trevor Project's lifesaving work, and I'm deeply honored to be recognized by an organization which has such a vital mission," Harris said in a statement on Wednesday. "I'm hopeful that in accepting this award, and in helping to build further awareness of the Trevor Project's resources, I can in some small way make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ youth."

Survivor host Jeff Probst will present Harris with the award. AT&T will also be honored at the event, to be held in Los Angeles on December 6.
