Calling All Allies: Let's Turn Pink!

It's time to gear up, folks! International Day of Pink 2024 is just around the corner, and we're not about to let prejudice dim our sparkles. This year, let's make a stand and show our support for the LGBTQ+ community with a surge of pink.

For those who don't know, International Day of Pink is an annual event held in April, where we celebrate diversity, promote acceptance, and say a resounding NO to bullying. So, get ready to don your pinkest outfits, wave your rainbow flags, and spread love far and wide.

A Day to Remember:
  • The Pink Shirt Story: It all started back in 2007, when a gay high school student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Two classmates, David Shepherd and Travis Price, took a stand and bought and distributed pink shirts to their fellow students. This simple act of kindness sparked a global movement.
  • Pink Tsunami: Over the years, International Day of Pink has gained momentum, becoming a symbol of solidarity and acceptance. Schools, businesses, and entire communities come together to paint their towns pink, creating a powerful wave of support.
Why Pink, You Ask?

Pink is not just any color; it's a statement. It's a symbol of hope, diversity, and the belief that everyone deserves to be treated with respect. So, rock your pink with pride, and let's send a loud and clear message: Bullying has no place in our world.
