Why March?
While many of us want to give back to our community, the thought of volunteering for a long term service commitment at the Pride Center can seem overwhelming for many. Did you know that marching for the PCNJ in the New Jersey and New York pride parades is a great way to “give back” to the Pride Center?
These two marches, aside from being personally fulfilling, represent the two most highly visible public events for the Center each year. Thousands of spectators come to see the parade and share in this amazing day of love and acceptance. Won’t you join us this year?
