    Your support will allow us to focus on the organization's objectives which are devoted to charitable, community outreach, educational & recreational projects here in El Paso. An additional donation is greatly appreciated and will not go unnoticed in our community. These donations will go towards growing the El Paso Sun City Pride Parade for years to come and aid in growing our Pride Parade Scholarship and providing education to the community of El Paso. To grow the presence of our loving city and extend the love we have for all in the El Paso, Las Cruces, and Ciudad Juárez region.
