Gala Sponsors

---

Our first-ever CR Pride Gala was a powerful celebration of community, visibility, and the people who continue to lift our mission higher every day. The room was filled with love, joy, and a shared commitment to building a more inclusive future for all.

To everyone who attended, volunteered, performed, sponsored, donated, or supported this event in any way—thank you. Your presence and energy made the Gala truly special.

A heartfelt congratulations to our Max K. Pike Community Award recipients, Susan Liddell and Jan Griffith. Susan’s decade of service on the CR Pride Board—including five years as Vice President—and their continued work with Jan on our governance committee reflect a legacy of leadership and dedication that has strengthened our organization and our community.

We were also honored to present an award to the MKP Foundation, whose lasting impact and ongoing support have helped CR Pride grow and thrive. Their commitment to uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community continues the spirit of Max K. Pike’s legacy, and we are deeply grateful for their partnership.

To our board members, performers, sponsors, and partners: thank you for bringing this night to life. Your passion and hard work created a beautiful celebration we will remember for years to come.

And to our guests—thank you for celebrating with us, for supporting our mission, and for standing proudly with CR Pride. Your support ensures we can continue offering programs, events, advocacy, and resources for our LGBTQIA+ community year-round.

This Gala wasn’t just a celebration—it was a reminder of our collective strength, our shared purpose, and the power of showing up for one another. We’re already excited for next year!
