The staff, board, and volunteers of OUT Maine would like to thank Allison Brzezinski, the community of Camden, and many Maine businesses and organizations for showing their love and support for LGBTQIA2S+ this past Pride Month!

Allison, owner of Birch Bark Events, used their expertise as an event planner to organize a series of Pride Pop-Ups in Camden last month. These events brought the midcoast community together and raised over $6,000 for OUT Maine’s LGBTQIA2S+ youth and family programs.

Thank you to the Camden businesses who contributed to the Pop-Up events: The Norumbega, Symmetree, Camden Opera House, First Fig, Dirigo Law Group, The Smiling Cow, Upper Vintage, Freya’s, Natalies, Camden Tax & Financial, Jessie Tobias Design, Page Gallery, Paper Plane, GOODS, TOPO, Gunner & Lux, 40 Paper, Zoot, Camden Real Estate Company, Spark Bagel, Once a Tree, Hearth & Harrow, and Buttermilk Kitchen.

We’d also like to thank Maine Coast Heritage Trust, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, and Rock City Coffee for hosting the annual Visions of Inclusion: Youth Pride, Art Shows, and Pride Walk.

Finally, a big thank you to these businesses and organizations who supported OUT Maine during Pride Month: Birch Bark Events, Camden Pride Pop-Ups, Crawl With Us, Hannaford, Seashore Trolley Museum, Yarmouth Maine Pride, WERU, Recycle, Owl & Elm, North Atlantic Seed Co., Melvin Heights Farm, I’d Wrap That, Herbal Revolution, Nonesuch Knots, Brass & Briar Studios, Patagonia, Bellflower Brewing, Monhegan Brewing, Mr. Krinkle Tie dye, Stonewall Kitchen, and Brickyard Hollow.
