Free Hugs 2024 - Twin Cities Pride Weekend
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Patrick, and since 2019 I have been a Free Dad Hugger at Twin Cities Pride. I have, in the last 5 years, hugged thousands of people at Pride events around the Minneapolis/St Paul area.
I have seen and felt wondrous love, tears, choked up "Thank You's" from many, many LGBTQIA+ people everywhere I have been.
Last year, I hosted the first ever 'Free Hugs' booth at Twin Cities Pride. The results were incredible. I had volunteer huggers from my church and my community, with everyone telling of their excitement over 2024.
Well, now is the time.
I need money to pay for the booth at Pride, to buy more T-Shirts, to buy more stickers (we gave out stickers to all we hugged, to remind them of who hugged them, and that we loved, honored, and were proud of them).
Please chip in with any amount you can give, to help us reach our goal - and over it if possible - to make the 2nd Annual Free Hugs booth better than last year.
