About Pride & Purpose

Join us Wednesday, April 30, 2025
The Olde Mecklenburg Biergarten at Ballantyne
6:00pm  – 8:30pm

Pride and Purpose benefits PFLAG Charlotte’s mission to support, educate, and advocate for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them.  We invite you to be a sponsor, donate a silent auction item, and join us for an evening of inspiration and celebration!

This year’s theme is: Our Love is Louder! We encourage attendees to dress up to reflect that theme in whatever way that speaks to you.

The evening will feature entertainment, a short program, a silent auction, and plenty of mixing and mingling. Your ticket includes event admission, hors d’oeuvres, and drink tickets. We suggest dressy casual attire.
