Pride Awareness Events
Raising Voices, Saving Lives: A Unified Push for Early Detection
We’re loud, we’re proud, and we’re talking about the cancers nobody else will. At Pride events across the country, we’re shining a light on colorectal and anal cancers because keeping our community healthy means getting real about the risks.
Our mission:
To protect every booty in the LGBTQ+ community through prevention, early detection, and health empowerment. No ifs, ands, or butts about it.
This is a full-on call to action—from local volunteers to national organizations—to band together, share resources, and amplify our impact. Together, we’re busting myths, fighting stigma, and making sure our community knows how to check their cheeks and get screened.
Want to help? Find us at Pride, volunteer with us, or help spread the word. Let’s make sure everyone gets the care they deserve, because good health is worth celebrating!

Cheeky Charity shows up at Pride events across the country all season long. In 2026 we had a presence at more than 45 Prides and talked with over 100,000 people. Depending on the city, that looks like a standalone booth, a partnership with a local health center, or our volunteers working alongside a partner organization.

Our initiative is gaining momentum, bringing together a diverse array of partners (including leading colorectal organizations, healthcare providers, community groups) and engaging corporate sponsors from sectors like wellness, financial services, and more.
By partnering with us, you'll be featured as a key contributor in a broad network of allies, each amplifying the message that health equity and proactive care are paramount.

Resources
In 2026, Cheeky Charity hit Pride festivals across the country bringing life-saving conversations about colorectal and anal cancer directly to the LGBTQ+ community.
At each stop, we created an inclusive space with interactive activities, easy-to-digest prevention tips, and take-home resources designed for our community. Thousands of festival-goers engaged with us (many for the first time) breaking down stigma and gaining critical health knowledge.
Beyond the booths, the impact continues. Every conversation sparked awareness, every connection strengthened our network of advocates. From New York to San Francisco, Houston to the Midwest, we showed up with purpose—and we’re just getting started.
