Upcoming Events
*WE HAVE MOVED OUR EVENTS TO A DONATION-BASED MODEL*
Why is this event donation-based?
In the past, a high number of registrations for free events resulted in very low attendance, which impacted our hosts, staff time, and event resources.
A small donation helps confirm attendance, reduces spam or bot sign-ups, and allows us to better prepare space, supplies, and refreshments for those who truly plan to join us.
The minimum donation is $1, and any additional amount helps support the Center and our programming. We truly appreciate donations of any size.
If you are unable to donate at this time, we would still love to include you. Please reach out to info@bridgeportpridecenter.org, and we’ll be happy to sign you up.
