CU Pride Fest Wants You to Share Your Story
Thanks to some great suggestions from community members, we hope that you will come to CU Pride Fest and share your story about how “Pride Makes It Better”. We will have a video camera set up for anyone who wants to stop by and take a few minutes to share your personal story, struggle and other words of encouragement. There will be no charge for this and we hope to be able to take some of the footage and use it for future events.
