*First and foremost, we want to thank all of the family members and caregivers who bought and/or dressed their kids in rainbows, brought their kids to Pride Kickoff, or gave them the freedom to go. You help make Lincoln a welcoming place to all, and help make Pride a success. We also want to thank all of the volunteers for setting up, cleaning up, lining the parade route, face-painting, controlling the ice-cream chaos, and everything in-between, and to the guests and family members who picked up every last bit of trash (and the Step stage!)Also thanks to the Rainbow and SAGA Clubs for being their loud and proud selves, to the Club advisors who so lovingly give their time and energy, to LEAP, and the LPS Step Team, YAK (Youth Acquiring Knowledge) <https://yakhiphop.my.canva.site/yakdance>, and Layla and David, all for their awesome performances. Thanks to Lincoln Land Conservation Trust / Rural Land Foundation for use of the space, and METCO Coordinating Committee for funding the bus for the LPS Step Team. Thanks to Public Safety and Dan Pereira, the Town’s IDEA Committee, and the town organizations that tabled (Parks and Rec, LincFam, Lincoln Dems, the Town Staff Diversity and Inclusion Committee, Friends of the Lincoln Library, the Library Children’s Department). And, lastly, thanks to Mass Cultural Council, Parks and Rec, and PTO for their generous financial support! It truly was a community effort!
