Community Link's Involvement in Pride
Arguably the largest event of the year, and certainly one requiring
year-long preparations is our Fresno Rainbow Pride. Community Link formally took
over organizing the Fresno GLBT Pride Parade and Festival in 2003. The
renamed committee, Fresno Rainbow Pride, has worked hard on bringing back the
excitement and integrity of this very important cultural
event.
Community Link was a major player in founding GLBT Pride in 1991,
and during that first year 8 out of the 12 organizers were Community Link Board
members. Fresno Rainbow Pride has since grown into a regional event drawing
people from all over the Valley to celebrate the contributions of the GLBT
community. Expecting over 3,000 people to attend each year's GLBT Pride, this is
the largest one-day GLBT event in the Valley.
