World Pride Parade 2025 | Washington DC

🌈 Yale SOM alumni and friends are invited to come together in celebration, visibility, and community as we march as a team in the World Pride Parade in Washington, DC! Sponsored by Yale SOM Q+ and the DC Alumni Chapter, this is a powerful opportunity to show pride, connect with fellow alumni and allies, and represent the inclusive values of the SOM community on a global stage.

🌈 Whether you're local or traveling to DC for the festivities, all are welcome to walk with us in the parade and be part of this joyful, global celebration of LGBTQIA+ communities.

🌈 In the spirit of giving back, our group leaders have set a $2,500 team fundraising goal to support the Capital Pride Alliance, the organization behind the parade and year-round LGBTQIA+ programming. Every contribution—big or small—helps make a difference. 

🌈 Show your SOM pride, make new connections, and celebrate love, identity, and inclusion!

🌈Click here to join our marching team and donate to our fundraiser. Once registered, you will receive an email with more information about the march, including the meetup location and step-off time. As a parade participant, you are welcome to attend the free Post-Parade Concert on June 7th & 8th. 

🌈 After the parade, we'll meet at XYZ location to continue the celebration and camaraderie.
