Flourish: A Botanical Ball to Celebrate Queer Growth.

Beneath the canopy of apple trees at Liberty View Farm, we’ll gather to embrace growth, abundance, and the beauty of thriving together. Event Tickets include a cocktail hour, auction, family-style dinner, awards presentation and silent disco. This year’s honorees include: 🌟 Celeste Lecesne – Writer, performer, activist, and co-founder of The Trevor Project, receiving the Gem of the Hudson Valley Award for decades of LGBTQ+ youth advocacy and storytelling. 🌈 Dr. Darrell P. Wheeler – President of SUNY New Paltz and national leader in health equity and social justice, receiving the Pride of New Paltz Award for championing LGBTQ+ inclusion in higher education and beyond. Dress Code: Ethereal Orchard Elegance. Get creative with your attire—think flowing silhouettes, lush botanical prints, organic textures, and subtle nature-inspired embellishments. Let the orchard inspire your look! This fundraiser directly benefits the New Paltz Pride Coalition, helping to sustain and expand LGBTQ+ initiatives, advocacy, and community programs. Come flourish with us, as love and unity take root under the apple boughs. Hosted by The Wedding Foundry at Liberty View Farm.
