The Dance for Equality!

The incredible Dance for Equality, a sold-out event last year, is North Jersey Pride\'s signature fundraiser—and it\'s how we\'re able to offer so many events, including the North Jersey Pride Festival on June 8th, FREE of charge! Because of the popularity of the event, we’ve moved to a new and larger venue this year—the beautiful Club at Orange Lawn in South Orange, NJ. Dance all night long to the beat of award-winning DJ Steve Sidewalk (of Ritz, XL Nightclub and Splash fame), who will spin the proverbial platters til 1AM. Bid on items at our exclusive silent auction, including Broadway house seats (Kinky Boots, Book of Mormon, Rock of Ages, Aladdin, After Midnight, Les Mis), tickets to David Letterman\'s last season, spa experiences, vacations, jewelry, designer fashion, artwork, unique experiences—plus raffles, 50/50 and more! Every dollar goes to help North Jersey Pride host the LGBTQA Pride Week and Festival, as well as to support out “Pride with a Purpose” mission of contributing proceeds beyond expenses to New Jersey-based LGBTQ youth organizations. We are offering TWO ADMISSION LEVELS this year: NJP SUPPORTER TICKET ($75): Your 80% tax-deductible ticket price includes admission at 9PM, wine and bubbly cocktails and delectable hors d’oeuvre from our Unity Sponsors Barefoot Wine and the Club at Orange Lawn.
