We hope everyone can chip in just $5 to support our cause. Every little bit helps, and if you can give more, that's even better, because the future of our events and programs is at stake. Let's be real—there's nothing for LGBTQ+ folks in Columbus except what we put together: Diversity Saturdays, the upcoming Halloween Festival, the Rock the Ribbon World AIDS Day concert, support groups, free HIV testing, and education.

If you own a business and want to be a vendor, that helps us too. There are so many ways to support. Call or text us, and we'll find a solution together.

Thanks for your support.
