Chelan Pride

06/13/2026

These businesses and organizations showed up with incredible generosity and genuine care, putting their names, their reputations, and their funding on the line to back last Saturday’s festival.

Because of their financial and in-kind support, the festival was fully covered, and every single dollar left over is going directly into this community to fund educational resources and programming for 2SLGBTQIA+ folx and our allies. We are deeply grateful.

When you see members from these businesses and organizations out and about, please thank them. ❤️

Let them know how much it means to have this type of inclusivity in our rural towns. Give them a hug, high-five them, or buy them a coffee. They are champions of people, lovers of community, and kind-hearted humans who are actively making our town a safer, more beautiful place to live.

Junio es el Mes del Orgullo, un momento para celebrar la fortaleza, la resiliencia y el amor de las comunidades LGBTQIA+.
Rendimos homenaje a los diversos activistas, líderes y agentes del cambio —entre ellos personas negras, latinas, indígenas, asiáticas y de otras razas— cuya defensa de los derechos y su valentía han contribuido a dar forma al movimiento del Orgullo y a promover la igualdad.
En CAFÉ, seguimos comprometidos con el empoderamiento y el apoyo a todos los miembros de nuestra comunidad, así como con la creación de espacios donde todos se sientan bienvenidos, valorados y empoderados.
Feliz Mes del Orgullo
