Listen to “Gay Pride Parade 2024, what an important event for those living” on Spreaker.

A pride parade (also known as pride event, pride festival, pride march, or pride protest) is an event celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) social and self-acceptance, achievements, legal rights, and pride. The events sometimes also serve as demonstrations for legal rights such as same-sex marriage. Most occur annually throughout the Western world, while some take place every June to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, which was a pivotal moment in modern LGBT social movements.^[1][2][3] The parades seek to create community and honor the history of the movement.^[1][4] In 1970, pride and protest marches were held in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and San Francisco around the first anniversary of Stonewall.^[5] The events became annual and grew internationally.^[6][7][8] In 2019, New York and the world celebrated the largest international Pride celebration in history: Stonewall 50 – WorldPride NYC 2019, produced by Heritage of Pride commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, with five million attending in Manhattan alone.^[9

Dear Good News Friend’s and Members,

WE  ALL love Pete Seeger.  He was a hero for us.  We had the chance to interview him, create shows with him, spend time at the Beacon Sloop Club, be on the Board of the Clearwater New York City division, use Pete’s songs in and his SING A LONG approach as the heart of our www.peacedayparty.org event and so much more.  We   have shared a clip from  Mr. Brown’s wonderful production of The Power of Song that emulates what Pete is all about…. The world will only change from small groups of people and so much more.  We will miss Pete dearly and will be dedicating our Peace Day Party event in 2014  to this very humble talented caring man…. A LEGEND IN OUR TIME.

Paul Sladkus and the Good News Family  

Seeger’s best known for songs include “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” “If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)” and “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season).”

But his influence extended far beyond individual hits.

His grandson Kitama Cahill Jackson told CNN that the singer died of natural causes at New York Presbyterian Hospital on Monday evening.

From August 27th through September 3rd, the dessert was featured on North End Grill’s menu as an exclusive item, and the proceeds along with donations are going directly to A Free Bird, as well as the Pediatric Cancer Foundation and Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York Presbyterian.

This event was a great accomplishment! On Monday, August 27^th, actor and film producer, Leonardo DiCaprio, was at the North End Grill and generously donated to A Free Bird’s cause. Our sponsors included Best Buy, Vivendi Corp., Power Ice, Dasha Wellness and Spa, and In2Website.  16th Avenue Home Center and The Peppermill Inc. donated cookware for Nicole, and Home Cooking New York donated cooking classes for the aspiring chef. When asked about the opportunity to work with the skilled Chef Cardoz, Nicole said, “The experience I had was in fact amazing…This opportunity was one in a million. It’s every child’s dream to meet and collaborate with people who they believe that they might become when they’re older. In this case this was a dream of mine, to get a sneak peek look at what goes on in a professional kitchen.”

Nicole was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was 7 years old. Now 17, she is cancer free and dreams of being a pastry chef. She has even showcased her cooking and baking skills at events for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation and impressed her supporters with her talent and passion for cooking. A Free Bird is very happy that we had the opportunity to help Nicole pursue her goal and we look forward to helping many more young artists.
