“This year we shine a spotlight on how far we’ve come and how much more there is to do to fuel equality and inclusion in support of these important organizations making the world better for the LGBTQ+ community everyday around the nation,” Gayle Troberman, chief marketing officer for iHeartMedia, shared.
Can’t Cancel Pride will also present Brandi Carlile with the 2023 Elton John Impact Award. Working with the Looking Out Foundation, the musician has completed humanitarian work to amplify the impact of music by pledging support and resources to overlooked organizations.
“This year’s fourth annual Can’t Cancel Pride will focus on the LGBTQ+ community’s past achievements, the urgency of the present moment and the hope for our future,” the organization’s statement continues. “Together, let’s show the LGBTQ+ community they are not alone and raise much needed funds for the organizations providing lifesaving and life-affirming resources and services like GLAAD, SAGE, The Trevor Project, the National Black Justice Coalition, CenterLink and Outright International.”
Brent Miller, Can’t Cancel Pride co-founder and P&G senior director, global LGBTQ, added: “I’m proud that Can’t Cancel Pride has raised over $11 million dollars to help fund organizations that offer critical support, from youth services to elderly care, and to continue to partner with some of the world’s best and brightest LGBTQ+ and ally performers to support and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.”
