The HBA has been working for several months to construct a 65-foot flagpole to permanently display a rainbow flag at the intersection of Normal St. and University Ave. The rainbow flag itself will be 20 feet by 30 feet.
The Amazing High Heel Race raised funds for the Pride Flag in June 2011.
Initial funds from the project were raised by The Amazing High Heel Race, an event produced last June to kick off awareness and energy about the Pride Flag.
After several stages of fundraising, permitting, bid retrieval and committee work, the flag is moving rapidly forward with a projected launch date of July 2012.
What you can do to help support the Hillcrest Pride Flag:
- Donate funds; every dollar raised is an important dollar. Every bit counts.
- Attend community meetings and show your support for the flag; every person in the room adds value to the conversation.
- The next meeting will be with the Uptown Planners on Tuesday February 7, 2012 starting at 6:00 PM at the Joyce Beers Community Center, Uptown Shopping District (Located on Vermont Street between the Panera Bread and Aladdin Restaurants)
