Nazareth Pride - June 10th, 2023

 

We had an incredible time sponsoring the first Nazareth Area Pride! It was a family-friendly celebration of love, diversity, community, and acceptance. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to New Creation United Church of Christ for taking over the event after the original location backed out. We also want to thank Novus Medical Services for their generous donation of sexual health supplies, which played a crucial role in promoting well-being within the community. Sutcliffe Designs also deserves special recognition for their 3D printed donation, which added a unique touch to the event. A big shoutout to The Gay Journal as well for the wonderful article in their latest edition that we display on our table (second flyer in).

We couldn't have made this event a success without the incredible support and assistance of Danielle, Darcie, and Deisy. Their dedication and hard work made the event and pin production run smoothly. We are immensely grateful for their commitment to making this event an inclusive and memorable experience for everyone involved.

Thank you once again to NOVUS, Sutcliffe Designs, The Gay Journal, Danielle, Darcie, and Deisy. Your contributions and support helped make Nazareth Area Pride an event to remember! We can’t wait til next year!❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

  June arrives, a month ablaze with rainbows, resounding with anthems of liberation, and steeped in the rich, complex history of LGBTQ+ Pride. It's a time that transcends mere celebration, becoming a powerful catalyst for reflection, education, and continued advocacy.
