Will you give $5 to give Western NC the Pride festival it deserves?

Something exciting is about to happen in our community. For the first time in a long time, the LGBTQ community is going to be on center stage educating, promoting, and celebrating our diversity.

Blue Ridge Pride has already raised thousands of dollars to put on an amazing all-day, FREE festival October 10th.

Now we need your help to support this grassroots festival.

We're kicking off a Pride campaign to raise $2,000 in the next two weeks! This goal is well within our reach . There are over 400 people on our email list alone - if each person gives just $5, we will make our goal.

Can you give $5, $10, or $15 today to help Blue Ridge Pride?

Asheville is celebrated and lauded as one of the most diverse and LGBTQ friendly cities in America because of the people and businesses here. Supporting Blue Ridge Pride is a great way to demonstrate our support for each other and build foundations for the future by making a small donation to an organization dedicated to lifting all of the LGBTQ community up.

We ask for your support during this historic time as we start a new tradition of pride in Western North Carolina . Please consider joining our celebration by participating in and providing your generous support to these significant events.

Should you wish to make a contribution, you may do so via the website, mail at PO Box 2044, Asheville, 28802; or by contacting this year's Pride Chair, Amy Huntsman , at (828) 301-9444 or blueridgepride@yahoo.com .

Use our secure form to donate to BluRP! BRP has applied for 501-c3 status but is currently under an umbrella agreement with PFLAG while awaiting approval from the IRS. This means that your donation will be tax deductable.
