Powerfully Pink
Powerfully Pink began as an event and has now expanded into a movement. It is a campaign meant to bring awareness to the LGBTQ2SIA+ communities significant challenges, offering safe space to the community during the holiday season. With community resilience in mind, activations during this campaign are meant to be educational, entertaining, and give visibility.
Powerfully Pink 2025
In its third year, the Powerfully Pink Holiday concept is expanding into the Old town neighborhood, becoming a light house for our “Drive to Thrive” community resilience programming. No matter your circumstance within the Powerfully Pink realm you are family. The Powerfully Pink headquarters opens Mid November and will have workshops/activations through mid December culminating in our Powerfully Pink weekend. We will be offering; educational panels/discussions, volunteer orientations, collaborations with local Old town businesses, shopping/vending opportunities, donation drives, and more!
We know our unhoused community needs protection and support during winter months. While the Powerfully Pink headquarters is not open to the public, we will be working behind the scenes, with our volunteers, to create warming kits and other care packages for our unhoused neighbors.
