Pacific Pride Foundation (PPF) will host its 11th annual PROUD Prom in partnership with the Independent Living Resource Center (ILRC), Saturday, April 27. The event is an all-inclusive evening of fun and community for local LGBTQ+ and allied youth in the greater Santa Barbara area.
PROUD Prom will be held at the Direct Relief warehouse in Goleta. PPF and ILRC have a lineup of entertainment in store, including a diva serving live vocals, and a comedy queen whose finger is on the pulse of pop culture.
“We are so excited to bring PROUD Prom back for another year of celebrating our LGBTQ+ youth,” said Tyson Halseth, PPF’s chief advancement and programs officer.
“These spaces are important for creating a thriving queer community, and we are incredibly honored the Independent Living Resource Center is partnering with us to broaden our event accessibility,” Halseth said.
“This event, alongside programs like PROUD Youth Group, are one step towards a safe future for LGBTQ+ youth,” he said.
