Presented by the Pocono PRIDE Coalition (PPC)
We’re so excited to welcome you to the 2025 Champions of PRIDE celebration! In honor of LGBTQ+ History Month, this autumn gathering shines a spotlight on the people and
organizations who keep PRIDE alive in the Poconos long after the festival season ends.
Join us on Wednesday, October 22, from 5:30–7:30 p.m. at the Vault 636 Restaurant, which hosts us in its private event space for an evening of gratitude, good company, and a toast to our Champions.
There’s no cost to attend, but space is limited. Guests who pre-register receive a complimentary drink ticket for the night’s featured Aperol Cider Spritz—light, crisp, and perfectly autumn.
The celebration includes live performances by Rebel Stages, a cash bar, and hors d’oeuvres, along with the presentation of donations to this year’s partner area nonprofits: TriVersity,
Northbound & Co., Kirkridge Retreat Center, and the East Stroudsburg University Gender and Sexuality Center.
We’re proud to honor:
Kristopher Lawrence – Person of the Year
Novus Medical Services – Business of the Year
Community Foundation of Monroe County – Ally of the Year
If you’d like to attend, please fill out the registration form to reserve your spot. We can’t wait to raise a glass with you at the 2025 Champions of PRIDE
