Thanks for making Pride a success! -
On June 7, more than 1,300 people gathered in downtown Red Wing for the third annual Pride celebration. This event was coordinated by ASPIRE (Authentic Student Pride through Individuality, Respect, and Education), a program of RiseUp Partnership that strives to create supportive connections and safe communities for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and allies.
This year, Pride participants enjoyed arts and crafts, music, and the perennial favorite: a red carpet walk. This event is possible because of dozens of volunteers and donors who work to make it fun and accessible for all participants.
We can’t wait to see you next year!
"The most fun, welcoming, and impactful event I've ever been to in this town in my 20+ years of living here!"
