COME OUT WITH PRIDE INC

Mission Statement

As we adapt to new challenges and accomplished achievements, our mission for this year is: To produce an annual pride event that fosters a sense of community, encourages LGBTQ+ citizens to live openly and with pride, and educates the general public of our shared cultural heritage. To encourage fellowship and support among participating businesses, professionals, individuals, and charitable pursuits in the LGBTQ+ and allied communities. To oppose prejudice in society at large and within the LGBTQ+ and allied communities on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. To foster communication, tolerance, and mutual support among LGBTQ+ persons and the allied communities. To provide positive role models in the LGBTQ+ and allied communities. To provide financial support to other LGBTQ+ oriented non-profit organizations in the local area through the making of grants made possible by the proceeds from each year’s event.
