A huge thank you to our incredible board members Lauren, Colleen, Julie, and Dredeir for representing the Montgomery County LGBT Business Council at Bucks-Mont Pride! Your time, energy, and dedication helped us connect with community members, share resources, and celebrate Pride together.

It was wonderful to see so many of our community partners, local organizations, businesses, and allies all coming together to create a welcoming and inclusive space. These moments remind us that meaningful connections happen when we show up for one another.

What an incredible day at the Lansdale Pride Walk & Roll on Saturday🎉

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, supported us, volunteered, sponsored, and helped make this event such a success. The turnout was amazing, and together we made a real impact in our community.

We were honored to be joined by elected officials, community leaders, business owners, and residents who believe in creating a Montgomery County where everyone feels welcomed, safe, supported, and celebrated. Special thanks to the Lansdale Mayor, our State Representative, and our dedicated Board Members who showed up and stood with us.

This event continues to grow every year, and we’re already excited about making it even bigger and better in 2027!

If you’d like to get involved, volunteer, become a sponsor, donate, or partner with us for future events and programming, we would love to connect with you. You can find ways to get involved and support our mission on our website.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Pride, community, visibility, and belonging. Wishing everyone a Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🌈 Community Update 🌈

We wanted to share a quick clarification with our community.

We recently became aware that an event listing on the Philly Gay Calendar is showing a Pride event and walk taking place in Lansdale tomorrow. Unfortunately, that information is incorrect.

The 10th Annual Lansdale Pride Walk & Roll took place today, June 6, 2026, and we were so grateful to celebrate alongside everyone who joined us.

At this time, there is no Montgomery County LGBT Business Council event scheduled for tomorrow at Memorial Park, and there is no Pride Walk taking place tomorrow. We have reached out to the Philly Gay Calendar to let them know about the incorrect listing and are hopeful it will be updated soon.

We are not sure where the information originated, but we wanted to make sure our community had accurate information so no one makes plans expecting an event that is not taking place.

Thank you to everyone who walked, rolled, volunteered, sponsored, supported, and celebrated with us today. Your presence helped make this year’s event incredibly special, and we are grateful to be part of such a caring and vibrant community.

With appreciation,

Montgomery County LGBT Business Council

Our hearts and minds are full after completing Session 2 of 'Freed to Lead!' 💖✨

The feedback from this sequel session has been absolutely overwhelming. It was deeply moving to hear our participants share their outstanding personal development outcomes and watch them step further into their path toward personal mastery.

From shifting focus inward to finding true clarity on business goals and legacy, these leaders aren't just learning concepts—they are actively integrating these insights into real behavior changes and strategies for growth. 📈

We intentionalized the day by starting with a beautiful sound healing session by Brittany for grounding, and ended with a powerful integration practice to celebrate the unique impact each leader brings into our community. 🧘‍♂️💫

Huge gratitude to everyone who made this experience so magical, including the The Montgomery County LGBT Business Council, Neelam Samant with Here & Now Coaching, and our hosts at IThrive Coworking Space.

🏢 Now Available for Businesses & Organizations!
We are so excited to announce that 'Freed to Lead' is ready to come to your workplace! If you lead an organization (any size) that values inner leadership, purpose, and building success through honoring who we are, we would love to partner with you.
