Support Pat's FREE HUGS Booth at TC Pride!

Hello! I'm Pat and I've been a FREE DAD HUGGER for 6 years now, and I will be hosting my 3rd FREE HUGS booth at Twin Cities Pride this June!

For the last two years, I've gathered moms, dads, sisters, brothers, and others to give freely HUG all the attendees at TC Pride. All of my huggers had never worn the FREE <MOM, DAD, etc> HUGS shirts before and most had never been to pride. BUT THEIR REACTION was amazing, and for many - life changing.

We not only hug everyone who wants/needs a hug - we talk to them, we show them that we love, appreciate, and are proud of them. And everyone who is hugged gets a sticker that says "(Name of hugger Hugged me, Loves me, Is proud of me." These stickers were so popular, ofttimes people hugged EVERYONE at the booth and went around wearing all the sticker for the rest of the day.

The money I'm raising goes into paying for the booth, taxes, insurance (every booth has to have insurance!), AND for purchase of the T-Shirts and iron ons we sell to those who want to join us.

So please donate what you can to help LGBTQ+ youth (and adults too!), by helping keep our booth fully set up and staffed for 2025!
