The 24th annual Pride Brunch, hosted by Gary Virginia and Donna Sachet, returned for a sell-out in-person event on Saturday, June 25, at the Westin St. Francis on Union Square. The San Francisco Bay Times is proud to be the longtime media sponsor of the event, which raises funds for PRC.
Highlights of 2022’s Brunch included an address given by Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. She spoke about that and other issues, including LGBTQ rights and the fact that she has a transgender relative. Listen to her remarks here: https://tinyurl.com/2u8fdwzy
Grand Marshals bringing remarks from the dais included Vinny Eng, Amber Gray, Melanie DeMore, and Amy Schneider. PRC Executive Director Brett Andrews spoke on behalf of the organization.
There was a silent auction, and San Francisco Bay Times columnist and television/radio personality Liam Mayclem conducted a live auction that included exotic getaways and a one-of-a-kind painting of Virginia and Sachet by artist Thomasina DeMaio, who was at the event.
Vocalist Carly Ozard raised the roof with a powerful version of the Streisand Broadway hit “Before the Parade Passes By.” Also center stage were flaggers Fiona Davidson and Jouke Lanning, Hula hoop artist MissConception (Sara Nicole Glass) additionally performed, as did Sachet, who elegantly worked the room at the end of the Brunch that featured a gourmet three-course meal and handcrafted floral decorations at each table. https://prcsf.org/
