Who are we?

Lake County Pride Organization Corp. is a 501(c)(3) established in 2019 is a non-profit consisting of myself, Danielle M. Olivani, its creator and founder. We are an intersectional organization who have deep ties and stand in solidarity with all marginalized and underrepresented communities in Lake County, FL. 

Lake County Pride was created to promote civil service, awareness, and education and advocacy about issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community in the Lake County area. Your donations will support Pride awareness and education in Lake County, Florida.

Due to COVID 19, we hosted a virtual Pride for the entire community on Saturday, September 19th, 2020, with notable guest performers and RuPaul’s Drag Race finalist Ginger Minj, DJ and musician Adam Joseph, and Internet personality Matty Rants. The event was streamed on Facebook and YouTube and viewed by over 2000 people. All proceeds made from this event were donated to Equality Florida's TransAction.

Working alongside me are my fellow board members, volunteers, and local allies, including but not limited to our contributors and supporters: Climate First Bank, Embrace Magazine, Deland Pride, St. Pete Pride, Equality FLORIDA, Lake County Democrats, Momma Ashely Rose, and Rose Dynasty Foundation Inc., The National Bearded Empress Pageant, WellFlorida Council, Pineapple Healthcare, and The United Way of Lake and Sumter County.

We welcome year-round community partnerships to strengthen the LGBTQIA+ experience in Central Florida and beyond...
