Who We Are &
Why What We Do Matters |
Who we are is more than a name. It is the day to day work that happens in our spaces. The support groups where people find connection. The phone calls where someone finally feels heard. The parent who finds community for the first time. The teenager who walks in unsure and leaves knowing someone has their back.
Why we matter is found in the impact we create together. Last year, 215 people found a safe place to be themselves at the Rainbow Rose Center. We reached over 2,500 people at Pride, hosted 26 support sessions, and had more than 430 meaningful community encounters. Every number represents a real person, a real story, and a moment of connection that would not be possible without you.

My name is Frank Revesz, though many in the community may know me as my drag persona, Regina Holiday, York Pride Ambassador 2025. I’m honored to be involved with the Rainbow Rose Center as the Events Coordinator, and most recently I joined the Board of Directors as Treasurer. The Center does incredible work for our community, and I’m excited to help support its mission while creating events and opportunities that bring people together.
