March with Growing American Youth in the 2009 St. Louis Pride Parade 200 YOUTH STRONG http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=88311474343&ref=mf Every year St. Louis LGBT Pridefest is celebrated in June. This year Pride Weekend is June 27th and 28th and takes place in Tower Grove Park. Growing American Youth has been marching in the parade for years and last year we marched with over 200 youth! It was amazing and we are doing it again! BE A PART OF IT! Whether this is your first pride parade or your 10th, we want you to march with us. Imagine the power of 200 youth marching in a parade! PARADE LINE UP: 10:30am on Sunday June 28th. Bring your friends! Come have a great time, meet new people, have fun, and be part of the action. The first 200 youth to meet up with us on Sunday receive a FREE Pride T-shirt. We will be meeting in front of the Carpenter Library at Grand and McDonald. Open to LGBTQ youth and their friends. (21 and under). INVITE PEOPLE to march with us!

Two hundred youth marched with Growing American Youth in the 2008 Pridefest Parade. Our efforts have grown over the years resulting in our best year yet. Clouds over head could not hinder our rainbow shirts and spirited energies. We walked for ourselves and for youth who are not able to march with us at this time. Special thanks to Coffee Cartel for their support.
