ARC Allied is looking for sponsors for our celebration this year. We welcome you to register as a sponsor by May 31st. The Rainbow level sponsors will be granted on a first come, first served basis. Sponsors can donate through Square here: https://square.link/u/dmIuelqp
We invite you to partner with ARC Allied and sponsor Milan’s 5th annual Pride Celebration on Sunday June 14th from 2pm-6pm at the Riverside Center, 45 Neckel Court, in Milan, as we come together to recognize and celebrate our local LGBTQIA+ community. Milan’s Pride Celebration is an all ages, family friendly event. We plan to have a drag story time, a drag musical performance, a DJ, a selfie station, a quieter area with arts and crafts, the Kona Ice Truck, food provided for all attendees (pizza, cookies, bottled water/drinks, etc), and more! It’s a wonderful time for those in the Milan area to come together and enjoy food, music, and community. It’s going to be a great event, and we hope you can be a part of the fun! Thank you!
