Make a donation in honor of Phyllis's 80th Birthday!

For Phyllis’ 80th birthday, she is asking all of her friends, family, and colleagues – near and far – to donate to her life’s work. Please join in celebrating Phyllis’s birthday by making a one-time or monthly donation today to the Phyllis B. Frank Pride Center of Rockland County.

Phyllis B. Frank was one of the Founding Board Members when the Rockland County Pride Center began in 2016. She brought her years of experience leading VCS's "Gay Pride Rockland" program which was launched in the 1990s. The newly formed Pride Center absorbed all Gay Pride Rockland's programming, including Pride Sunday and the Directory of LGBTQ+ Friendly Businesses, Services, and Organizations.

Phyllis continues to serve on the Pride Center's board and saw the organization renamed in her honor in 2019.
