Cranbrook Pride Fundraiser BBQ

Join us on Friday, July 18 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Idlewild Park for a community BBQ fundraiser supporting access to counselling and mental health services.

For many members of the LGBTQIA+ community, accessing affirming mental health care can be challenging. Cost, limited availability, long waitlists, and a lack of accessible resources can all create barriers to getting support when it's needed most. Through this fundraiser, Cranbrook Pride hopes to help reduce those barriers and make counselling more accessible for people of all ages in our community.

Thanks to the generous support of Finning CAT and Save-On-Foods, we'll be serving a BBQ lunch by donation, with all proceeds going directly toward this initiative. Whether you can contribute a little or a lot, every dollar helps bring someone closer to the support they deserve. We'll also be hosting a raffle featuring donations from local businesses, artists, and community members.

Raffle tickets will be available throughout our summer events, with all proceeds going directly to the fundraiser. It's a fun way to support the cause while having a chance to take home some fantastic prizes!

Optional potluck-style sides and desserts welcome

Cash is appreciated for food, raffle tickets, and donations

Even if you're unable to donate, we'd still love to see you there!

Come enjoy lunch, connect with the community, learn more about the project, and help us build a future where financial barriers don't prevent people from accessing the mental health support they need. Together, we can make a meaningful difference, one burger, raffle ticket, and act of community care at a time.

See you at Idlewild Park!
