Give 100, Match 100: Urban Adventures Companies Pledges Support for LGBTQ+ Community at WorldPride 2025 in DC

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Urban Adventures Companies, Inc. (UAC), is doubling down on its commitment to the LGBTQ+ community by launching the WorldPride Donation Match fundraiser—pledging to match up to $100,000 in donations for Capital Pride Alliance’s GivePride365 initiative. With this effort, UAC aims to contribute a total of $200,000 to support LGBTQ+ organizations throughout the National Capital Region.

The GivePride365 fund provides year-round visibility and financial assistance to local 501(c)(3) nonprofits that serve LGBTQ+ individuals, ensuring sustained support beyond Pride Month. This initiative aligns with the 50th anniversary of Pride in Washington, DC, and the city’s upcoming role as host of World Pride 2025. World Pride Celebrations will take place in the city from May 17-June 8.

UAC will host a lineup of vibrant events and activities for World Pride 2025 at its lifestyle and wellness businesses, including participation in the Capital Pride Parade. Events at VIDA to fundraise for GivePride365 will include donation-driven group fitness classes, MyZone challenges, partnerships with local businesses, and other community-driven events.

“The LGBTQ+ Community has been the heartbeat of our businesses,” said Aaron Moore, President of UAC. “They stood by us through economic downturns and the global pandemic. They are our people, our family—and we are proud to stand with them in return.”

As an LGBTQ+ owned business, UAC actively participates in Capital Pride celebrations every year. In addition, the Washington Blade consistently recognizes VIDA and Bang Salon as Best Fitness or Workout Spot and Best Salon in multiple years of the Best of LGBTQ DC Awards.

UAC invites corporate partners, local businesses, and community leaders to join in amplifying this impact. Sponsorships will directly fuel World Pride 2025 programming, VIDA’s $100,000 match, and vital community initiatives. To secure your sponsorship or learn more, please contact [e-mail].
