Turn Your Pride into Action!
Saturday June 13 at the Academy of Lions
10am-1pm
In support of our LGBTQSIA++ community, we’re shutting down our regular operations our Pride of Lions event is back!
This year we are teaming up LGBTQ+ Youthline and Toronto Queer Market to bring you an inclusive charity event that will include a 3-person, team competition including queer trivia and costume fashion show!
Youthline will have a booth where folks can donate more and learn more about the important work that they do.
Registration will be a bit different this year, teams can register their group and pledge whatever amount they wish for their registration. Once submitted, we’ll send you a link where 100% of your donations will go directly to Youthline!
After the competition, we’ll hold a BYOB/BYOS to chill down and hangout with the community at the gym!
