The KindRED Pride Foundation was inspired by the desire to expand the magic created by the 30-year tradition of the original “Gay Day at Magic Kingdom” in Orlando. The event started with just a handful of people who decided they would meet socially on the first Saturday in June in front of the castle. They would all wear RED t-shirts to identify each other since they had only met on a bulletin board and never in person.

The KindRED Pride Foundation’s mission is to honor the kindred spirit, bravery, and courage of the original attendees back in 1991 by expanding the “grass roots” desire to bring the community together to celebrate our differences as well as our “oneness” and to support endeavors by like-minded charities within the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, and Ally community (LGBTQIA) by producing sporting, music, and other special events. Our only discriminating criteria is whether you are “kind” or “not kind” as we search the world for Be Kind Champions! Color? Shape? Size? Age? Gender? Orientation? Nationality? Ability? None of these matter to us. All that matters; Are you Kind?

One of our missions is to provide an easy, simple way for other like-minded non-profits to raise awareness and funds.  Our online store enables non-profits of all sizes to participate in the RED Shirt Around the World initiative.  They just upload their logo and share their unique link with their world.  $9 per shirt goes to the non-profit and $4 per shirt goes to the KindRED Pride Foundation.  Check out the STORE and email us at info@kindredpride.org if your organization would like to participate.

A powerful and impactful way for like-minded non-profits to raise awareness and funds is to TAKE THE RED CHALLENGE!  By participating in your favorite sport or fun activity on the first Saturday in June in RED, we can get to the 1,000,000 goal for sure!
