Pride United Homecoming
United Way’s Pride United is a donor network for LGBTQ+ leaders, allies, and advocates committed to addressing key issues disproportionately affecting the LGBTQ+ community.
Pride United Homecoming
Pride United Homecoming is a joyful celebration with a powerful purpose. Created by Pride United, this event is themed as an inclusive High School Homecoming Dance for Queer Adults & Allies alike, creating an experience where all are celebrated.
More than a celebration, Pride United Homecoming will include fundraising opportunities for guests to support United Way’s Safe & Stable Homes initiative, which works to end family homelessness by preventing evictions and increasing access to stable housing. With nearly 40 percent of the youth homeless population identifies at LGBTQ+, this event raises critical funds to help ensure that everyone, regardless of identity, has a place to call home.
Join us to celebrate love, build community, and be part of lasting change.
