The Pride Awards annually recognizes individuals and organizations whose compassion, innovation, generosity and community service create a safer, welcoming, collaborative, just community.

Award recipients demonstrate their pride through both their work and in the way they live their lives every day, continuing the legacy of the Lambda Community Center opened in 1986 by Jerry Sloan and the late Timothy Warford, with the help and guarantees of Terry Sidie, Marghe Covino, Court of the Great Northwest Imperial Empire (CGNIE) Emperor Randy Hartman and others to serve the broader cross-section of the LGBT community.

The 2016 Pride Awards will take place on the iconic Capitol Mall, the same place where Sacramento Pride has its festival. This is a first for this type of event on Capitol Mall and we couldn’t be more excited to be able to host the Pride Awards there!

Festivities include:

• VIP reception at the Wells Fargo building with a hosted bar and appetizers by Il Fornaio
• Live Auction by David Sobon Auctions & Events
• Roaming feast by Empress Tavern and Mother restaurants
