“Rhode Island has been so welcoming to me since I started working at Channel 10, so volunteering for important causes is the least I can do to give back. I truly enjoy the connection to the community that comes with supporting local organizations that are making such a difference. The Newport Pride Center is one of those organizations. It is so vital to give our neighbors a safe space to feel accepted, supported, and free to be themselves. For young people especially, it is critically important that they have a physical space where they feel like they belong so they can thrive, grow, and learn from one another.” - Mario Hilario, News Anchor at NBC 10 WJAR.

Proceeds from our Velvet Ball support the vital work we do for the local LGBTQ+ community. Get your tickets today at: newportprideri.org (link in bio)
