HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!

As COVID continues to disrupt our lives and our events and everything else, we've needed to push back our PRIDE celebration -- but fret not! We've partnered with the awesome Cascadia Chapter of Credit Unions to host a very special, three-part series to honor PRIDE and our LGBTQ2SIA+ communities. These three, very special Zoom meetups are all designed to support the wonderful Q Center in Portland, which has been hit particularly hard due to the pandemic.

So, attend one, attend all, pick and choose, but no matter what, find some time on your calendar to join us and help support this fabulous cause. Feeling ready to give now? Visit our fundraising page! We will share this info at the beginning of each event and we encourage you to open your heart (and your wallet!)

Walk • Learn • Listen

Walk: This is a new take on marching for PRIDE! Participate throughout the week leading up to the 17th by heading out for a walk, run, or climb – anything active. Take pictures and videos and share on social using the hashtag #CUStrideforPride or email to info.ycup@gmail.com. On the evening of the 17th, we'll gather for a Zoom happy hour to talk about it all, enjoy some trivia, raise some $$ for the Q Center, and share a slideshow of the activities!
