The Founders Circle is a group of our most generous donors. Founders commit $1,200 or more annually to support our general fund and overall operations. Founders are the backbone of our organization. Their generosity enables us to meet monthly expenses and expansion of our programs and services.

The Founders Development Committee has established a series of networking events that are sponsored and/or hosted by local businesses or individuals.  The receptions are designed to attract business and professional individuals interested in learning more about the Pride Center in an after working hours networking environment. If you would like to host a Founders Reception or join the Founder Circle – please contact Robert Boo, Director of Development, at 954.463.9005.

The Pride Center salutes the following Founders Circle Members and thank them for their support of the Center.  Those names in bold are new Founders.
