Hosted by Cholula Lemon and Sweaty Eddie, architects, designers, and friends celebrated our first anniversary of the committee together in Lutron’s WELL Platinum certified space while sipping design-inspired cocktails and enjoying wonderful catering. We are especially thankful to both our host sponsor for the event, as well as KPF for contributing to the entertainment for the evening.This year’s Pride Celebration’s benefactor, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, is an organization that fights to make equality, equity and liberation a reality for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people. As the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, they drive impact by inspiring, engaging and mobilizing millions of pro-equality voters and supporters to elect pro-equality leaders and to demand equity-based policies and legislation; changing hearts and minds through programming that increases understanding, visibility and support for the diverse LGBTQ+ community in all aspects of our identities; and transforming the institutions and systems that shape our everyday lives by advancing LGBTQ+ inclusive policies and practices in schools, workplaces, hospitals, communities and beyond.
