The Deerfield Inclusion Group (DIG) is raising funds to host an AMAZING Pride Party on Saturday, June 4,2022,* 1:00-4:00 pm, on the Deerfield Elementary School grounds (21 Pleasant Street, South Deerfield, MA).

In honor of Pride Month, we’ll be celebrating and honoring our LGBTQIA+ community. This will be a day filled with rainbows, fun, music, games, educational resources, snacks, and all around community love.

Bring a picnic lunch; we'll have snacks and water on hand.

*Rain date is Sunday, June 5.

Help make the day a fabulously fun success!

Your donation will help us make sure we have enough supplies on hand. Our shopping list includes: lawn games and prizes, Pride swag (e.g., rainbow flags and pronoun pins, temporary tattoos, stickers), arts and crafts supplies, snacks and amenities (bottled water, sunscreen).
