Pride in Action: Supporting Hurricane Relief Efforts
This year, we’re dedicating 100% of all donations received during Pride Week to support Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Your contributions will go directly to the United Way of the East TN Highlands, providing critical aid and long-term recovery support for communities impacted by the storm. As we come together to celebrate Pride, we also have the opportunity to uplift our neighbors in need and help rebuild stronger, more resilient communities throughout Appalachia.
