This year, the annual Juanita MORE! Pride Party is celebrating 20 years. What started as an alternative party to celebrate our community's diversity has become touted as simply the "best party of the year." This party is one of Pride Weekend's most significant nonprofit events.
Each year, I have taken great pleasure in seeking out some of our community's most impactful organizations as beneficiaries. The community has helped raise over $1 million for local charities by supporting events I have organized over the past three decades. I cannot thank everyone enough for all your contributions over those years.
This year, I have chosen the LYRIC Center of LGBTQQ Youth (Lavender Youth Recreation and Information Center) in the San Francisco Bay Area as my annual Pride Party beneficiary.
I have an immense amount of respect for our queer elders and a responsibility to empower our queer youth. Our community has thrived because of the brave generations before us; those legends planted the seeds of love, compassion, strength, and resilience. My duty as a community leader is to keep those planted seeds alive.
I want to keep building our future by supporting our queer youth in their quest to carry on the legacy of our queer elders.
LYRIC Center for LGBTQ+ Youth is not-for-profit 501c3, EIN #94-3227296
