History and Impact of Can’t Cancel Pride

Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, Can’t Cancel Pride emerged when many Pride events were canceled, limiting visibility and fundraising for LGBTQ+ organizations.

Over its first four years, Can’t Cancel Pride has raised over 14 million dollars for these diverse organizations. In 2023 alone, the event reached over 23 million viewers and listeners.

The event is supported by P&G brands including Bounty®, Cascade®, Charmin®, Dawn®, Downy®, Febreze®, Gillette® Venus, Olay Body, Pantene®, Swiffer®, and Tide®.
