Here is the Official 12th Annual Pagan Pride Raleigh Wrap-Up!!! First and foremost, thank you to all of our 2012 attendees, vendors, performers, workshop leaders, volunteers and staff. Without all of you this event wouldn’t be what it is today!!! This year was one of the largest Central NC Pagan Pride Days Festivals yet! With nearly 3000 people in attendance, across both days, we were able to collect Food and Cash donations equaling 8,033 pounds for the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC, enough to provide 6,764 meals to those who need them. The fine folks with the Wake County Animal Center raised $80 in cash donations, plus received numerous donations of cat and dog food, toys, containers, cleaning supplies, etc and most importantly found loving homes for 2 wonderful animals (1 cat and 1 puppy). On top of all of this, the Blood Donors at our event gave 31 units of blood to the American Red Cross of the Triangle, enough to save an estimated 93 lives. We even had the News and Observer stop by on Saturday! This year, we didn’t just break records; we set major milestones for Pagan Pride Raleigh! Again, we thank everyone who made this year (and every year) possible!! See you all again next September on the 21st and 22nd, 2013, at the NC State Fairgrounds. Be sure to mark your calendars!!! The 13th Annual Pagan Pride Raleigh is going to be even better!!!!! |
