Dear Valued Stakeholders,

We are thrilled to share an exciting transformation with you. As part of our continued commitment to serving the community with inclusivity, empowerment, and advocacy, FR Pride has rebranded as EverRise Culture & Community. This evolution reflects our mission to expand beyond LGBTQ+ advocacy, incorporating holistic, evidence-based approaches to education, mentorship, and community support that uplift all individuals.

At EverRise, we remain steadfast in our mission to create safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces while broadening our impact. Our programs now integrate research-driven methodologies to provide meaningful support in areas such as youth mentorship, leadership development, cultural programming, and systemic advocacy. We recognize the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve, and this rebranding allows us to evolve while staying true to our core values.

What This Means for You

• Expanded Programming – We are introducing new educational initiatives and mentorship opportunities that support youth and marginalized communities through evidence-based practices.

• Virtual Accessibility – In response to the evolving landscape, we have transitioned to a virtual model, ensuring accessibility and engagement for individuals regardless of location.

• Continued Commitment to Inclusivity – Our rebrand does not change our dedication to advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. It strengthens our ability to provide holistic support that acknowledges intersectional identities and diverse experiences.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Guided by our belief—“Live Pridefully: Remain Alive + Full of Legitimate Sense of Self-Worth”—EverRise will continue to promote equity, diversity, and resilience through our programming and partnerships. We invite you to be part of this journey by engaging with our work, collaborating on initiatives, and supporting our mission through advocacy and volunteerism.

We are excited about this new chapter and deeply appreciate your continued support. If you have any questions or would like to explore opportunities to collaborate, please feel free to reach out.

Together, we will continue to build a more inclusive and empowered community.

Warm Regards,
Nikita L. Valencia
