About Cazenovia Pride
Cazenovia Pride, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, dedicated to fostering inclusion, visibility, and community celebration in Cazenovia and surrounding areas.
Our Story
Cazenovia Pride began as a grassroots movement, sparked by community members who envisioned a more inclusive and welcoming environment for LGBTQIA+ individuals and families in the Cazenovia area.
What started as small gatherings and conversations has grown into a vibrant organization that hosts annual Pride celebrations, educational workshops, support groups, and community events throughout the year.
Our mission extends beyond celebration—we work to create lasting change through advocacy, education, and building meaningful connections between community members, local businesses, and organizations.
Today, Cazenovia Pride serves hundreds of community members and continues to grow, thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, board members, and generous supporters who believe in our vision of an inclusive community.
