In addition to our regular programs and activities, the YWCA Out & Affirmation Center occasionally hosts special events, including fundraisers, conferences, retreats, and joint projects with other agencies. Check here and on our home page calendars to find out what is going to happen.

Lake Effect Pride is our annual celebration of Pride Month and also serves as our primary local fundraiser for the Center. This year's theme is Celebrating Community - Honoring Diversity. Join us at the Vineland Center, 1155 Vineland Road, in St. Joseph.

Tickets are just $30 and include a great appetizer buffet and cash bar, fabulous entertainment featuring "The Movement", and our eclectic silent auction (you'll have to attend to see what's on the block).

Reserve your tickets now by calling (269-985-9622) or emailing (info@outcenter.org). We also welcome sponsorships and auction item donations until May 19th.
