We are very excited for this year’s Long Island Pride Parade. This year marks the parade’s 20th anniversary. We have over 100 kids marching with us, and we are extending an invitation to Pride for Youth’s supporters to join our contingent as well.
This Friday night at the Coffeehouse we are lucky to have Sandy Faison and Steve Henaghan come speak to the kids about Long Island Pride. Sandy is the Director and Executive Treasurer of the Long Island Pride Parade. Steve was one of the founders of the Pride Parade in 1990. He will speak to the kids about the issues they faced when they first started Pride and how it has evolved today.
I hope you all can attend Long Island Pride this year. Please come visit our table in the park at the end of the parade. You can meet some of our staff and peer educators and check out our Pride merchandise. For a suggested donation of $20 you will receive your choice of a hat or a t-shirt. For a suggested donation of $30 you will receive both. Money raised helps us continue the valuable work we do in our community.
We can’t wait to see you all there! For directions/map to the Parade gathering spot in Huntington, check out: http://www.liprideparade.com/
