4 min read

This Pride season, you can support Rainbow Railroad’s vital work through our corporate partners.

During Pride season in the months of June and July, when you’re shopping for fabulous Pride festival outfits or stocking up for your weekend brunch, you can make a difference by visiting some of our amazing corporate partners who are raising funds in support of Rainbow Railroad’s mission.

 

Ontario

LCBO: Rainbow Railroad is grateful to once again be one of the charitable partners of Love Pairs With Everything, the LCBO’s annual Pride fundraising campaign. Until the end of June, LCBO customers can make a donation at checkout with all funds raised distributed to the five local LGBTQI+ beneficiary organizations. 

The Beer Store: For the fifth consecutive year, The Beer Store is partnering with Rainbow Railroad for Pride. From June 2nd to 29th, when you visit any The Beer Store outlet in Ontario, you can make a cash donation at the check-out or donate your empties to Rainbow Railroad.

Canada

TD Bank: As Rainbow Railroad’s longest-standing corporate partner, TD is continuing to sell its limited edition Pride Silver Round–a half-ounce silver round featuring a colorized design of the Pride rainbow encircling the English and French inscription of "Forever Proud", symbolizing diversity and equality. 100% of proceeds are donated to Rainbow Railroad with this unique piece.

RW&Co.: Continuing for the second year, RW&Co.’s Blind Date with a Book campaign allows customers to purchase a classic LGBTQI+ book without knowing what title they are buying, with funds raised going to Rainbow Railroad. Each book in the campaign is meticulously wrapped in original artwork, created by artist Dalkhafine, concealing its title and cover. It’s a delightful way to discover new reads and support 2SLGBTQI+ stories for a Pride Month read.
