And we’re going to be raffling off two tickets to prom!

We are honored to have the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of New Bern be our title sponsor for the New Bern Pride Prom and Vendor Fair.

UU has been a supporter of New Bern Pride since day 1, even before we were an official nonprofit. They saw what we were trying to build and have been on this journey alongside us ever since. We couldn't be more grateful for their continued support of our community, from facilitating a Trans Day of Visibility event at their fellowship to letting us use their space for support groups and even hosting an upcoming blood drive with us on June 18th. We are so grateful to have them as our neighbors and friends.

Please give UU a big thank-you, and come dance with us on June 13th!

A question we keep getting: “Can I still come to prom if I’m not gay?”

Ummm… YES. Absolutely. 🪩✨

Allies are absolutely welcome. We’re here for cute outfits, bad dancing, and a fun night — not checking sexuality at the door.

Is our graphic designer out of town? Possibly. Does that mean we can't show you a sample of the over 50 Prom dresses that have been donated for YOU to snag for FREE? No! Send us a DM to come check them out.

We’re honored to offer Kai Memorial Fund Tickets again to help community members who might not otherwise be able to attend this year's Pride Prom.

These tickets are made possible through a special donation from the family of Kai, a young woman who chose to live authentically and attended her last high school prom as her true, beautiful self. In 2024, Kai lost her battle with depression — a struggle that too many LGBTQ+ youth face.

Her family and loved ones raised funds in her memory to support causes that mattered to her, and we are deeply grateful that part of this support is helping ensure Pride Prom remains an inclusive, welcoming, and accessible space for all.

If you or someone you know would benefit from a sponsored ticket, you can request one here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSclLt77rz1rdcKBy5gFmckRbNQ1HVrcNtxayaBIZMTeoz0pEw/viewform?usp=send_form.

If you’d like to contribute to the Kai Memorial Fund, please reach out to treasurer@newbernpride.com — every contribution helps us make sure no one has to sit this one out.

Filling out the form does not guarantee a sponsored ticket. We will go in order of applicants and contact you if one becomes available. Please fill out one form for each ticket. If you are looking to attend with someone, please note that in your message.
