The San Joaquin Pride Center is a finalist for a Pepsi Refresh Project $10,000 grant. How great is that? The Pepsi Refresh Project is a national program honoring creative, innovative and important community based ideas that refresh the world. The catch? The winners of the grants are voted on by the general public. We are asking all members of the Central Valley Stonewall Democratic Club to join Team SJPC and help Furnish a Pepsi Lounge so Stockton can have an LGBT Pride Center. That's the title for their "idea". If won, the $10,000 will go towards furnishing a community center with much needed furniture and supplies. San Joaquin County is the only urban hub in all of Northern California without a Pride Center to serve its LGBT community. Winning this contest is an important step in making a local pride center a reality.
