Legends announces total raised for the Brighton Rainbow Fund on Pride Sunday
The traditional Pride Sunday Cabaret Marathon Fundraiser raised a massive £3,000 in six hours.
Legends. the iconic venue on Brighton seafront, is the first out of the stalls to announce the result of their Brighton & Hove Pride fundraising for the Brighton Rainbow Fund.
The traditional Pride Sunday Cabaret Marathon Fundraiser raised a massive £3,000 in six hours.
The Brighton Rainbow Fund distributes funds raised by the community as grants to local LGBTQ+ and HIV projects, supporting hundreds of people.
The (usually) annual marathon event is organised by Stephen Richards aka Lola Lasagne, and after a gap of two years due to Covid restrictions, he has returned to work with a new team at Legends comprising new owner Erica Hann and general manager Tyler Bowring, ably supported by the whole Legends team.
As this is a charity fundraiser all the performers forgo a fee. This year’s line up was as stellar as ever. Lola Lasagne was joined by Kara Van Park, Mrs Moore, Davina Sparkle, Miss Jason, Billie Gold, Mary Golds, Sally Vate, Stephanie von Clitz, Miles Elliot, Jason Lee, Cosmic, Rose Garden, Dave Lynn, Ruffles, Jennie Castell, with Peter Castle and Makrum Dudgeon on sound.
Jane Pritchard, a trustee of the Brighton Rainbow Fund, went to thank the team on behalf of all the organisations and individuals who’ll benefit from grants this year.
