Gratitude & Recognition

Pride is made possible by thousands of people—volunteers, partners, sponsors, and community organizations. This event ensures we properly thank and honor everyone who contributed.

Community Investment

The Community Partners Program distributes hundreds of thousands of dollars to local LGBTQ+ organizations. This celebration publicly recognizes that Pride's impact extends far beyond one weekend in June.

Continuous Movement

By closing one Pride cycle and beginning to plan the next, we demonstrate that Pride is a year-round commitment to LGBTQ+ liberation, not just a single weekend celebration.
