Pillars of Pride @ Fisher Pavilion/Seattle Center
May 7, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 1:00 pm
GenPride is proud to host Pillars of Pride again this year, as an event to honor elders from our community and a fundraiser for GenPride and Pride Place. Pillars of Pride (PoP) is GenPride’s annual event, timed to coincide with the 2023 National Honor our LGBTQ Elders Day.

This event recognizes our LGBTQIA+ elders who have worked hard to lift our community. This generation of elders fought for and won a tremendous amount of the rights we enjoy today. Without their courage in the face of hatred, discrimination and violence, our community would be very different. We are committed to this being a truly inclusive day that represents the many diverse segments of our community.
This is an exciting time for GenPride, as we prepare for the opening of Pride Place, a new LGBTQIA+ affirming senior affordable housing and community center on Capitol Hill, scheduled to open in the fall of 2023.
GenPride is partnering with Community Roots Housing on the development of this project – the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest – which will include a senior community and health services center on the ground floor.
We are engaged in a campaign to secure $5M in funding to build out the community center at Pride Place; funds raised at Pillars of Pride will support this effort.
