THE GORGE — In celebration of Pride Month, businesses across the Gorge fundraising for the The Next Door’s Columbia Gorge Pride Alliance (CGPA) program in some fun, creative, and community-driven ways, according to a press release.
Proceeds will support CGPA’s programs, events, and advocacy efforts aimed at making the Gorge a safer, more inclusive place for the LGBTQIA2S+ community:
Sip with Pride at Love and Hominy, where $1 from every frosé sold in June will be donated to CGPA.
Chemistry Jewelry offers endless pride bracelets, with 100% of proceeds going to CGPA.
Pine Street Bakery will serve $5 rainbow heart cookies and donate 50% of proceeds — a way to celebrate love and equity in our community.
And on June 16th, head over to NK Studios in Bingen to move your body and celebrate community at their Pride-themed Dance Fitness class with a portion of donation proceeds benefiting CGPA.
For a full 30-day calendar of Pride events in the Gorge, visit nextdoorinc.org/events or follow CGPA on Instagram @cgpridealliance.
