The Annual Pride Banquet and Awards Ceremony is proud to announce the winners to be honored at the Ukrainian Cultural Center on June 23, 2011. This is the longest running event of its kind and is co-sponsored this year by Affirmations, Al GAMEA, Black Pride Society, Detroit Latin@z, Dignity Detroit, Equality Michigan, Forum Foundation, GLEAM, Just4Us, Motor City Bears, and Renaissance Unity.

On its 25th anniversary the banquet will honor people who have made outstanding contributions of time and talent to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community. Nominations were solicited from all over Michigan, but only a select few have been chosen to receive awards.

Tickets to the banquet are $42, and include family style dinner and open bar. Tables of ten seats are available for early reservation; to reserve a table, email pridebanquet@yahoo.com or purchase your tickets at Just4Us or Five15.
