ABCD Walking in the Milwaukee Pride Parade

June 8, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Join ABCD at the Milwaukee Pride Parade!

ABCD Mentors, their families & friends are invited to walk with us in the Milwaukee Pride Parade on Sunday, June 8 in Walker’s Point — the largest Pride celebration in Wisconsin!

We’ll be joining hundreds of parade entrants and sharing ABCD’s message of free, inclusive emotional support for anyone impacted by breast cancer with thousands of LGBTQ+ individuals and allies. During the parade, you might carry a poster or banner or toss out candy and giveaways — there’s a way for everyone to shine.

Parade starts at 2 PM, but we’ll meet earlier to line up.

Want to walk with us? Email linda@abcdmentor.org to express your interest!
