Congratulations to Nikki Patin and the Brave Space Alliance Team (BSA) for their/her appointment as CEO. This is outstanding news.
Nikki is a visionary and transformative leader, and we know even more phenomenal work and advocacy are in store for BSA with Nikki at the helm. Full speed ahead, Brave siblings!

EXCITING UPDATE: Whoa! We're blown away by the enthusiastic response to the Pride Family Barbeque 2026: Hot Fun in the Summertime, taking place on Sunday, June 14. In just three days, we've received 87 registrations. This makes us so happy!
This is going to be a TIME, y'all! Affinity's Pride Family Barbeque is like a big family reunion with guests and new friends we warmly welcome into the fold.
The mouthwatering aromas of meats and veggies cooking on the grill...
The sounds of laughter and the DJ mixing old school with new school...
The sight of people hugging, kids running around playing, and all generations getting in line dance formation...
And the beautiful green, wide space to enjoy it all, to disconnect from some things and (re)connect to nature and each other.
So, why would you want to miss this?!
📧 RSVP stat for the Pride Family Barbeque via the QR code on the flyer or at bit.ly/42Zp0xm (case-sensitive).
