Peoria Proud

Peoria Proud advances equity and belonging for LGBTQ+ individuals in the Greater Peoria Area through advocacy, education, and social outreach. We strengthen our region by fostering visibility, connection, and opportunity for all.

Join us for Pride Night with the Chiefs and celebrate with a night of community, visibility, and fun at the ballpark.All tickets purchased directly through Zeffy support Peoria Proud, with 100 percent of profits going right back into local LGBTQ+ programming and initiatives. Be one of the first 500 through the gates and grab a special giveaway item, then stick around for a full evening of excitement including a Pitch In for Charity opportunity, 50 50 raffles, and the chance to connect with local community partners who will be set up throughout the event. Come out, show your pride, and be part of something that gives back while bringing everyone together.
