It's the 10th again, which means another opportunity to donate for a chance to win a table for 10 at the 2026 Courage+ Gala!

We're gearing up to share more about this year's event, but all we'll say for now is that this year is truly going to be the most exciting, stunning, and energetic gala yet.

Help us provide safety, comfort, and pride to LGBTQ+ youth for ten more years.

Together, we can make 2026 the start of our best decade yet!

This year, we’re joined by more than 130 youth representing over 20 schools across Southeastern Wisconsin, along with Adam and Jeff, founders of the NOH8 Campaign, and our newly crowned Miss Courage+ and Mr. Courage+. Adam and Jeff will be in the parking lot of POP in Walker's Point immediately after the parade doing photo shoots.

As you watch us march, you’ll notice colorful kites flying above our group. Every ribbon hanging from those kites represents a child who visited the Courage+ Youth Area at PrideFest. Together, they serve as a powerful reminder that every young person deserves to be seen, valued, and celebrated.

From all of us at Courage+, we wish you a happy, safe, and joyful Pride. Happy Pride!

With love and courage,
Brad
