The Run for Rocky Run/Walk will continue to fund local GSA funding and will additionally support Windsor's 2SLGBTQI+ agencies. A portion of the funds raised through this year's R4R event will also be donated to the Windsor Pride Community, Windsor-Essex Pride Fest, and Trans Wellness Windsor. The cohesive effort of these agencies working together ensures that our 2SLGBTQI+ community and their families in this region are supported by strong services that meet the needs of the community.
