Every June, the independent supporters at the Northern Guard Supporters and Detroit City faithful come together to raise funds for the Ruth Ellis Center through their Prideraiser campaign! For every goal our men’s and women’s first teams scored, supporters pledge a donation. At the end of the month, all goals are tallied up and pledges are collected and donated to the Ruth Ellis Center to support local LGBTQ+ youth.
Ally, longtime friends of Ruth Ellis Center and our club partner, have pledged to match donations up to $10,000 for this year’s Prideraiser. This will be the fourth year Ally has assisted in amplifying the amazing work done by our supporters. Their partnership continues to spread the word and provide additional resources to further the Ruth Ellis Center’s mission.
You can join the Northern Guard and our partners at Ally by pledging a dollar amount per goal today – or even making a one-time donation to the Ruth Ellis Center!
