South Florida Pride Bands announced the nonprofit received a much-needed $5,000 donation from the Quick Tricks Duplicate Bridge Club, the only sanctioned Gay Bridge Club in Florida.   

Dr. Adam DeRosa, president of the South Florida Pride Bands, accepted the check on behalf of the band during the Club’s 17th anniversary dinner where guests were entertained by a dazzling live performance from the band’s jazz quintet. 

“We are incredibly grateful to the Quick Trick Duplicate Bridge Club members for the generous donation,” said DeRosa. “This comes at a crucial time as sadly the State of Florida preemptively removed all LGBTQ arts organizations from contention for Florida Division of Arts and Culture grants.”
