The weekend of August 11th, Luke and Tyler Randall, co-owners of Endeavours Art in Fredericton, New Brunswick Canada went all out for Pride week!
Their Pride celebration this year was a result of a collaboration between STABILO, MacPherson’s and Endeavours Art. The idea sprung to life during the 2018 Dealer Workshop in Las Vegas. Upon hearing about Endeavours’ yearly celebration where they fundraise for causes benefiting the LGBTQIA2+ community, Assistant Brand Manager Ana McCormick made a connection. STABILO Pen 68 and 88 sets – vibrant, colorful and perfect for Pride.
With STABILO as a sponsor, it was an incredible time for all involved. Tyler recapped proudly that “we celebrated in solidarity with Pride and in the name of love, community and freedom.”
The event combined a parade, a booth featuring STABILO supplies and a Pride Heroes Gallery – an art show featuring artists from the LGBTQIA2+ community and portraits of their heroes within the community. All of the proceeds from the gallery and Pride parade sales were donated to Rainbow Railroad, a charitable organization that helps members of the LGBTQIA2+ community find safe havens: “In countries all over the world, lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-identified (LGBTI) people live in basic fear for their freedom, their safety and their lives…Rainbow Railroad exists to help people get out of danger to somewhere safe.”
MacPherson’s and STABILO were proud to support this event, and support Tyler and Luke with building connections within their community. STABILO’s colorful, vibrant sets featured at the Fredricton Pride Parade include SW8815-1, SW8830-1, SW6815-1 and SW6830-1.
