Pride Kickoff Fundraiser a Huge Success
Friday, June 26th, found members and supporters of the GSGRA Bay Area Chapter (BAC), along with members of the Imperial Council of San Francisco community, out at Marlena's in Hayes Valley to kickoff San Francisco Pride weekend. This fundraiser was to benefit the BAC so we can produce a 2010 Best Buck in the Bay Rodeo. Special thank you's goes out to Marlena for letting us hold the event at her wonderful establishment, and to John Paul Soto, Mr. Gay San Francisco 2009, for putting together and hosting the event.
Additional 2009 dates added for Golden Gate Fields Fundraising
With half the year gone already, we are looking forward to more fundraising in the second half of the year. We have secured four additional dates to staff Golden Gate Fields' Dollar Days booth. We'd love to see as many of you out there, not only assisting with selling $1 hot dogs and $1 Bud Light, but also having a good time with fellow Rodeo folks. Review the dates and e-mail our Fundraising Chairperson to volunteer.
Pride Season
June was Pride month in the Bay Area. The BAC celebrated Pride in the South Bay and San Francisco.
Thanks to all who visited us June 13th and 14th at the San Jose Pride Festival. We brought Mighty Broncy to the festival and nearly 100 folks had a great time getting a little taste of bronc riding. A H U G E thank you goes out to all of the volunteers that worked the BAC booth, and an extra special thank you goes out to Sundance Saloon for providing great country music and dancing. Be sure to check back right here on Wednesday when photos and videos will be uploaded.
San Francisco Pride held their annual Pride Celebration on Saturday and Sunday, June 27th and 28th. The BAC had volunteers out working the donation collection gates on both days, and we has a contingent marching in the Pride Parade on Sunday, June 28th. Thank you to all of the volunteers, as well as the folks who joined our contingent in the Parade. Check back soon for photos from the Parade and Festival.
