Edgewater Pride in our city is community-built and community-funded. Your support helps us host events that are welcoming, accessible, and grounded in care – from our family-centered creative gathering, to our Pride kickoff party (Saturday, May 9th), to a parade and after-party (June 6th) that remain fundamental elements of our Edgewater community.  As we always strive to adapt to our world, this year we’re changing our approach within the community. We intentionally designed our fundraising to be less transactional and more relational. Instead of selling perks or merchandise, we invite our community to support Edgewater Pride through donations and sponsorships that help us host accessible, welcoming events.  BELONGING, NOT BARRIERS Donations help keep Edgewater Pride rooted in community rather than commercialization. When you give to Edgewater Pride, you help keep:<ul><li>Family programming free</li><li>Parade participation donation-optional</li><li>Local queer and allied resources visible</li><li>All events accessible</li></ul> Presence is always more valuable than money. No one will ever be turned away from our community for lack of funds. Donor support makes this part of the mission possible.
