The Downtown Long Beach Association (DLBA)’s annual Pink Park–which ushers in the Long Beach Pride celebration every May–as well as a volunteer partnership with Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride, Inc., turned out to be a huge philanthropic success.
The DLBA presented The Center Long Beach with a check for $6,915 directly from the proceeds of the popular downtown event, exclusively benefitting the Mentoring Youth Through Empowerment (MYTE) program.

Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride, Inc. presented The Center with $1,687.50 through a working grant that will be used to support direct services provided by The Center. The money is a result of the 75 volunteers that The Center provided to the Pride celebration this year.
