Pride Kickoff Fundraiser Committee

The Pride Kickoff Fundraiser Committee organizes Equality Cape May's annual Pride Kickoff Fundraiser, held every year (usually on June 1st!)  As the first event of Pride season, and our largest fundraiser of the year, this celebration brings the community together for a night of joy, generosity, and queer visibility. The event features raffles, gift baskets, and the announcement of our Youth Scholarship recipients. This committee ensures the event both impactful and fun, helping raise the funds that support our work all year long.
