Prideraiser 2025: Pledges, donors sought for annual Detroit City FC Pride Month fundraiser
When Detroit City Football Club scores a goal this Pride Month, the Ruth Ellis Center benefits. Here's how to help:
Both the men's and women's teams will wear this year's Pride kit, which will then be auctioned off after the games. Proceeds from the jersey auction will support Ruth Ellis Center through this year's Prideraiser campaign. DCFC's fan group, Northern Guard Supporters, will also be on site with a booth where donations to Ruth Ellis can be made.
During pregame, Dirty Elizabeth will perform with support from DJ Zoe Talley. Between the matches, catch a drag performance by Jadein Black, Vivian Aphrodisia, and Lana Sevol.
In addition to the fundraisers and entertainment, volunteers with Free Mom Hugs, a nonprofit that provides hugs and support to members of the LGBTQ+ community, will be at the games for those who need them.
