Please indicate who you are nominating for the community awards and the grand marshal. Contact
outreach@pridestl.org with any questions.
There are four awards available. The “Felton T. Day Community Service Award” is presented to a person – not associated with Pride St. Louis – whose service to the LGBTQIA+ community has gone above and beyond, exemplifying the spirit of leadership and service in one’s community. The “Jim Hoefer Organization Award” is presented to an organization best exemplifying what it means to serve St. Louis’ LGBTQIA+ community. The “Chuck Charleston Award” is presented to a former Pride St. Louis board member who demonstrated leadership and service beyond their normal duties. Lastly, the “Lisa Wagaman Lifetime Community Service Award” is presented to a person who has dedicated a large portion of their life to further the Pride movement, LGBTQIA+ causes, or has given back through leadership and/or volunteering. Awards will be announced at the Pride Kick-Off Party, and all winners will be featured in the parade.
The grand marshal will be given the honor of leading the parade at noon on the Sunday of Pride Weekend. The theme for PrideFest this year is “solidarity.”
