IT IS MY HONOR TO WELCOME YOU TO COME OUT WITH PRIDE 2017 Come Out With Pride is one of the largest Pride events in Florida, welcoming an incredible 150,000 participants to Lake Eola last year. Our theme this year, #KeepDancingOrlando, is a powerful message for our community and the world. We were very excited to be able to partner with the creators of this movement to continue to show the pride, love and support that we have here in Orlando. I encourage you throughout our Pride Week to dance and continue to show our diversity and the love our community has for one another through participating in the many activities and events that we have put together. I would like to thank our allvolunteer Board of Directors and Production Team, without whom this celebration would not be possible. These individuals take pride in all their hard work and countless hours to ensure we deliver a high-quality and memorable event year after year. I would also like to extend a gracious thank you to our many sponsors; without your commitment and generosity we would not be able to achieve our goals. To the vendors, supporting businesses, volunteer ambassadors, entertainers and local government agencies—thank you for your support. Last but surely not least, thanks to all of YOU for celebrating with us. On behalf of the Come Out With Pride leadership team, we welcome you to Come Out With Pride 2017—#KeepDancingOrlando! BRIAN RIHA PRESIDENT OF THE 2017 BOARD OF DIRECTORS COME OUT WITH PRIDE 2017 7
