In a year of fierce backlash against the LGBTQ+ community around the globe, it is especially important to me to ensure that our local LGBTQ+ community is supported and celebrated for all the amazing work that is being done beyond the festivals and Pride months. I am very grateful and supportive of Blue Ridge Pride’s growing programs and impact, not only in our local community, but also as an example for others who travel here and go back to their communities. BRP continues to be a vital support for LGBTQ+ elders, students, businesses and families. This is why I am a Blue Ridge Proud Partner-level donor and supporter.
