In 2020, Blue Ridge Pride reduced fundraising efforts, encouraging our sponsors to lend their support to organizations most affected by COVID and to those supporting COVID relief.  Our board also elected to draw down our own resources to a minimum in order to fund our partners' COVID relief programs. We funded over $11,000 to support to 9 organizations. This included emergency aid grants to over 60 people affected by COVID.
