May 12, 2022 - The Grove House is hosting a community prom event as a fundraiser for Mariposa Pride on Saturday, May 21 with doors opening at 5:00 P.M. and event from 6:00 P.M. – 9:00 P.M. Mariposa Pride is a volunteer-led initiative that formed after the first Mariposa Pride celebration in June 2021. Now, their work has continued under a mission to build visibility, advocacy and inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community in Mariposa County. Tickets are $15 now and $20 at the door and can be purchased at EventBrite under The Grove House Prom or find links through the Facebook event page: Grove House Prom. All proceeds return directly to Mariposa Pride (sponsored by the Alliance for Community Transformations). 

The event is intended to provide an opportunity for community members to participate in a reconceptualized “prom” that is inclusive and celebratory of every kind of person and partner. Attendees are asked to arrive in whatever attire makes them feel most comfortable, foxy or fancy, and are encouraged to think creatively about identity and creative expression. 

Guests can enjoy electronic and retro throwback music provided by DJ Project Lo (producer at FAB Fresno) and Divine Femme, face painting by Indigo of Prism Tattoos, a photobooth and more. Additional donation opportunities include a silent auction with items provided by local businesses and supporters, a $1-per-vote for Grove House Prom royalty.  

Funds from the Prom event help put on the Pride Celebration on Saturday, June 4th at The Grove House, featuring family-friendly activities, live music, poetry, and performances. Details on this event will be released shortly. These two events are intended to help leverage Mariposa Pride’s goals to encourage, coordinate and provide opportunities for an active LGBTQ+ community in Mariposa moving forward. This includes establishing and recognizing safe spaces, supporting queer youth, and building community partnerships for a more inclusive future.

Special appreciation to The Grove House and The Alliance for Community Transformations, and thanks to Mariposa Pride’s 2022 donors so far: The Alliance for Community Transformations, Pathos Screen Printing, Sierra Booksellers, Where the Wild Things Play and Dixons Fixin’s, Mountain Fitness, Artesanos Mariposa, Pure Fitness, Yosemite Pilates kkc.jewelry, Lizz Darcy, Heather Bernikoff and David Raboy with Yogasemite, Stan Taylor, Ralph Mendershausen.
